Kubernetes Deployment, ReplicaSet, and DaemonSet are all used to manage service class containers; for work class containers, we use Job.

batch/v1 is the apiVersion of the current Job.

2 indicates that the current resource type is Job.

restartPolicy specifies when the container needs to be restarted. For Job, it can only be set to Never or OnFailure. For other controllers (e.g. Deployment) it can be set to Always.

Start Job with kubectl apply -f myjob.yml.
