<p>When I'm trying to execute the following command</p>
<pre><code>[&quot;/bin/sh&quot;, &quot;-c&quot;, &quot;cqlsh cassandra.my-namespace.svc.cluster.local -f /path/to/schema.cql&quot;]
</code></pre>
<p>from my Job, I am receiving the following error:</p>
<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):

<p>When I run the <code>cqlsh</code> command manually from the container, everything works. Unfortunately, the automated solution throws the mentioned error.</p>
<p>Am I missing something in the Service configuration? I have thought since I am connecting to service from the Pod created by Job, it should work.</p>
<p>EDIT:
Job looks like this:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job

        - name: cass-init
          mountPath: /etc/config
    volumes:
      ...
</code></pre>
<p>And here is the output of <code>etc/resolv.conf</code>:</p>
<pre><code>nameserver 10.96.0.10
search default.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local
options ndtos:5
</code></pre>

<p>The error you posted indicates that wherever you're running the cqlsh command, it cannot resolve the service name.</p>
<p>Depending on how your k8s cluster is configured and where the job runs (inside the same k8s cluster or external), you'll need to expose access to the pods with <code>Ingress</code> or <code>NodePort</code>.</p>
<p>Aleš Nosek has a good explanation of how to access pods in <a href="http://alesnosek.com/blog/2017/02/14/accessing-kubernetes-pods-from-outside-of-the-cluster/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">his blog post here</a>. Cheers!</p>
