KubernetesTaskRunner KubernetesTaskRunner

yaml
type: "io.kestra.plugin.kubernetes.runner.KubernetesTaskRunner"

Task runner that executes a task inside a pod in a Kubernetes cluster.

This task runner is container-based so the containerImage property must be set to be able to use it.

To access the task's working directory, use the Pebble expression or the WORKING_DIR environment variable. Input files and namespace files will be available in this directory.

To generate output files you can either use the outputFiles task's property and create a file with the same name in the task's working directory, or create any file in the output directory which can be accessed by the Pebble expression or the OUTPUT_DIR environment variables.

Note that when the Kestra Worker running this task is terminated, the pod will still runs until completion, then after restarting, the Worker will resume processing on the existing pod unless resume is set to false.

Examples

Execute a Shell command.

yaml
id: new-shell
namespace: myteam

tasks:
  - id: shell
    type: io.kestra.plugin.scripts.shell.Commands
    taskRunner:
      type: io.kestra.plugin.kubernetes.runner.KubernetesTaskRunner
    commands:
    - echo "Hello World"

Pass input files to the task, execute a Shell command, then retrieve output files.

yaml
id: new-shell-with-file
namespace: myteam

inputs:
  - id: file
    type: FILE

tasks:
  - id: shell
    type: io.kestra.plugin.scripts.shell.Commands
    inputFiles:
      data.txt: "{{inputs.file}}"
    outputFiles:
      - out.txt
    containerImage: centos
    taskRunner:
      type: io.kestra.plugin.kubernetes.runner.KubernetesTaskRunner
    commands:
    - cp {{workingDir}}/data.txt {{workingDir}}/out.txt
