minikube start
eval $(minikube docker-env)
docker build -t k8s-app:v<version_number> .
vim k8s-app.yaml # edit version_number accordingly
kubectl apply -f k8s-app.yaml
kubectl expose deployment/k8s-app --type=LoadBalancer

Todo

1. Actually schedule a job
2. Make some ip's and ports configurable via env vars.
3. Look into letting minikube pull from a registry deployed inside the cluster:
