How to create a job from the Scaleway Container Registry

Scaleway’s Serverless Jobs allows you to create jobs from several container registries, including the Scaleway Container Registry which allows you to store, secure and manage all your custom container images effortlessly.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Scaleway account logged into the console
• Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
• Created a Container Registry namespace and pushed a container image to it

1. Click Jobs in the Serverless section of the side menu. The jobs page displays.

2. Click Create job. The job creation wizard displays.

3. Complete the following steps in the wizard:

   • Select the Scaleway Container Registry.
   • Select the required Container Registry namespace from the drop-down list, and then select the container image and tag.
   • Enter a name or use the automatically generated one. The name can only contain lowercase alphanumeric characters and dashes.
   • Select the region in which your job will be created.
   • Choose the resources to be allocated to your job at runtime. These define the performance characteristics of your job.
   • Add a cron schedule in the * * * * * format, and select your time zone to run your job periodically. Refer to the cron schedules documentation for more information.
   • Define any environment variables you want to inject into your job in the advanced options. For each environment variable, click +Add new variable and enter the key/value pair.
     Note

     Encode your environment variables to base64 if they are too large, and contain carriage returns.

   • Add the desired secret references to your job.
   • Add a startup command to your job. It will be executed every time your job is run.
   • Set a maximum duration to your job to stop it automatically if it does not complete within this limit.
   • Verify the estimated cost.

4. Click Create a job definition to finish. You are directed to the listing of your Serverless Jobs.

5. Click the name of the job you just created. The Overview tab displays.

6. Click Run job to execute it.

The execution appears in the Job runs section of the Overview tab.
