Parallel Processing using Expansions — Create Jobs from the manifests
Next, create all the Jobs with one kubectl command Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl create -f ./jobs ``` The output is similar to this Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text job.batch/process-item-apple created
Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions).
Next, create all the Jobs with one kubectl command
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
kubectl create -f ./jobs
```
The output is similar to this
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
job.batch/process-item-apple created
job.batch/process-item-banana created
job.batch/process-item-cherry created
```
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
kubectl get jobs -l jobgroup=jobexample
```
The output is similar to this
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
NAME COMPLETIONS DURATION AGE
process-item-apple 1/1 14s 22s
process-item-banana 1/1 12s 21s
process-item-cherry 1/1 12s 20s
```
Using the -l option to kubectl selects only the Jobs that are part of this group of jobs (there might be other unrelated jobs in the system).
You can check on the Pods as well using the same
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
kubectl get pods -l jobgroup=jobexample
```
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
process-item-apple-kixwv 0/1 Completed 0 4m
process-item-banana-wrsf7 0/1 Completed 0 4m
process-item-cherry-dnfu9 0/1 Completed 0 4m
```
We can use this single command to check on the output of all jobs at once
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
kubectl logs -f -l jobgroup=jobexample
```
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
Processing item apple
Processing item banana
Processing item cherry
```
