Hello I want to ask if you have a cronjob, and that it saves something to ephemeral disk (like a cache), and this cronjob completes
In the subsequent iterations of the cronjob, would the same ephemeral disk be loaded with the stale cache contents or would a fresh new one kick in with nothing in ephemeral?

I am running test scripts on it now and it turns out it DOES persist

i was being plagued with this stale cache entries until i decided to push an update to figure out why (which redeployed and only when redeployed it destroys the ephemeral disk cache)

I think it would be good to have a 2nd confirmation

Yes, it can persist inbetween runs but it's not a guaranteed behavior because our scheduler could re-place your cron job onto another machine at any time.

If you want strong stateful guarantees here then you'd need to attach a volume

i see. In fact i need it to be strong stateless 🤣
