kubernetes.job.ensure

Create a Kubernetes Job; pass replace=true to delete+recreate if it already exists (Jobs are immutable)

Creates a Job in the given namespace. If a Job with the same name already exists and replace is false (the default) the workflow fails with a clear error — Jobs are immutable once submitted. If replace is true the existing Job is deleted (background propagation) before the new one is created.

Inputs:

• connection_uuid: Cloud connection UUID (required)
• namespace: Target namespace (required)
• name: Job name (required)
• job_spec: V1JobSpec dict (required). Minimum shape: {template: {spec: {containers: [...], restartPolicy: "OnFailure"}}}
• replace: Delete + recreate if the Job already exists (optional, default false)

Outputs:

• existed: bool — true when a Job with this name already existed
• uid: string — UID assigned by Kubernetes to the newly-created Job

Plugin required: context.get_plugin("connection").kubernetes_runner_clients(connection_uuid, organization_uuid) must expose batch_v1 with read_namespaced_job, delete_namespaced_job, and create_namespaced_job.
