[Feature] Schedule a Chaos Mesh workflow definition, instead of immediately executing it

[pcgeek86]

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

I would like to create a workflow, and then schedule that workflow to run periodically on a cron schedule. Right now, Chaos Mesh runs a workflow as soon as you create it, and doesn't allow you to schedule execution of a workflow (unless I'm missing something).

Describe the feature you'd like:

Use Schedule feature to run a workflow.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

n/a

Teachability, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy:

As a Chaos Mesh user, I would like to create a workflow definition, without necessarily running. Then I would like to separately create a Schedule resource that executes a Workflow definition on a cron schedule.

Actually, we could use Schedule to orchestrate Workflow now, but we do not support creating it on the dashboard because of the complexity UX logic.

Hi @STRRL @YangKeao, I am looking at similar thing. Is there any documentation you can point me to on how to schedule a workflow using YAML file ?
