Summary

To automate scripts with Golang and CronJobs using Kubernetes, start by installing Golang, Minikube, Docker, and Kubectl on your system. Create a new directory for your project, write a basic script (in this case, a "hello world" script), and create a Dockerfile to package the script. Configure a CronJob by creating a YAML file that specifies the schedule and image to run. Finally, run the commands to start Minikube, build a local Docker image, apply the CronJob configuration, and verify that the script runs automatically at the specified interval, printing "hello world" to the console before stopping. With this setup, you can automate scripts with Golang and CronJobs using Kubernetes, making it easy to deploy and manage your applications in a robust and reliable way.
