If the download fails in the Kubernetes Job defined in your YAML, the following will occur:
-
Retry Mechanism: The Job will attempt to retry the download based on the
backoffLimitspecified. In your case, it can retry up to 4 times if the download fails. -
Pod Status: Each time the download fails, the pod will exit with a failure status. Kubernetes will create a new pod to attempt the download again until the maximum number of retries (4) is reached.
-
Job Completion: If the Job reaches the
backoffLimitand still fails, it will be marked as failed. The Job will not complete successfully, and you will need to investigate the logs of the failed pods to determine the cause of the failure. -
Logs: You can check the logs of the pods to see the error messages from the
curlcommand, which can help diagnose why the download failed (e.g., network issues, incorrect URL, etc.).
In summary, the Job will retry the download up to 4 times upon failure, and if it still fails after that, it will be marked as failed.
