Kubernetes tips

☸️

K8s CronJobs use the same 5-field cron syntax. Paste your generated expression into your `spec.schedule` field.

💡

For periodic cleanup jobs, `0 3 * * *` (3am daily) is a popular choice — low-traffic window for most clusters.

🎯

Set `concurrencyPolicy: Forbid` if your job mustn't overlap with itself. Useful for jobs that take longer than the schedule interval.
