How to quickly delete multiple jobs in kubernetes

#devops #womenintech #kubernetes

Kube jobs running wild?

To delete successful jobs:

kubectl delete jobs --field-selector status.successful=1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To delete failed or long running jobs

kubectl delete jobs --field-selector status.successful=0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Get rid of them all!
