# Kubernetes Job Deployment Guide

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to deploy a Kubernetes Job using environment variables stored in a `.env` file.

## Step 1: Create a `.env` File

Create a file named `.env` and add the following environment variables:

```sh
MODEL_NAME=meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B
HUG_TOKEN=hf_SuperSecretSauce123
HUG_TOKEN_RT=hf_ThisIsNotTheTokenYouAreLookingFor
```

## Step 2: Build and Push Docker Image

Before running the Kubernetes Job, build and push the Docker image to a container registry (Docker Hub).

Build the Docker image:

```sh
docker build -t your-dockerhub-username/your-image-name:latest .
```

Push the image to Docker Hub:

```sh
docker push your-dockerhub-username/your-image-name:latest
```

Ensure that your Kubernetes Job YAML references this Docker image.

## Step 3: Create a Kubernetes Secret from the `.env` File

Run the following command to create a Kubernetes Secret from the `.env` file:

```sh
kubectl create secret generic subhasis-env --from-env-file=.env
```

## Step 4: Deploy the Kubernetes Job

Apply the Kubernetes Job YAML file to the cluster:

```sh
kubectl apply -f job.yaml
```

## Step 5: Check Job Status

Monitor the job status using:

```sh
kubectl get jobs
```

To check logs from the running pod:

```sh
kubectl logs -f <pod-name>
```

To get the pod name:

```sh
kubectl get pods
```

## Step 6: Clean Up Resources

To delete the job after completion:

```sh
kubectl delete job subhasis007
```

To remove the secret:

```sh
kubectl delete secret subhasis-env
```
