Test JOb

This sample shows up to run a batch job as a daemon. This is very similar to the testjob sample but this job will not stop being executed but will run until the end of time. It can be customized using the following environment variables:

• MSG : specifies the message printed to the logs. By default it will be a simple "Hello World" type of message
• TARGET : When the default message is printed, you can change the word "World" to something else by setting the TARGET environment variable.
• SLEEP : will tell the code to sleep for the specified number of seconds before exiting.

The code will also print the list of environment variables to the log file for debugging purposes.

The sample script will also submit the job twice. First by creating a job definition, followed by submitting it, and then it will submit a new job directly without first creating a job definition. In the second case it will also change the message printed via the MSG environment variable.

As noted in the main README, this sample has two pieces:

• a build script which will build the container image(s) used
• a run script which deploys resources that use those images

The main purpose of this example is the run script, but the build script is included for complete educational (and reuse) purposes.
