Schedules

Attach a cron expression to any pipeline for recurring builds, deploys, or maintenance runs, and see the last and next run time at a glance.

Before you start

  • A pipeline to schedule
  • A cron expression (sec min hour day month weekday)

Step by step

  1. 1

    Create a schedule

    Pick a pipeline and enter a cron expression — Tentacles evaluates it with second-level precision.

  2. 2

    Enable or disable

    Toggle a schedule off without deleting it — useful when pausing recurring jobs during a freeze window.

  3. 3

    Check last and next run

    The schedules table shows last run and next run timestamps so you can confirm a cron expression is firing as expected.

    Tip: Use schedules for drift-detection GitOps runs, not just deploys — a nightly re-apply catches manual cluster edits.
