Support cronjobs

[luispabon]

Would be great if Dashboard would support cronjobs in the same way it supports jobs (cronjobs being a level above jobs).

We probably want cronjobs to go at least beta before implementing this.

It seems that Cronjobs will go beta in 1.6 release according to the following issue in 1.6 milestone:

kubernetes/kubernetes#41039

[floreks]

@luispabon Good idea. We'll look into that after the release.

[libnux]

Unfortunately , cronjobs' going beta postponed to v1.7.

Greetings!
Any updates?

Is there an open PR for this, or is there design work required to figure out where this sits in the Dashboard UI? CronJob doesn't seem to fit neatly into any of the existing tabs.

[maciaszczykm]

@oscarbatori We can always introduce new tab, but you are right. We need to discuss it a bit before implementing it.

[oscarbatori]

@maciaszczykm is this the appropriate forum for discussing features, or is JIRA/mailing-list used for that?

I think cronjobs just below pods would probably do the trick. I think probably critical information to replicate kubectl get functionality:

1. schedule
2. name
3. suspend
4. active

Also, we might want to look at separating cronjob pods from longer running pods. As an example, it's pretty easy to see how a litany of cronjobs could end up polluting the pod list with the status of transient pods:

Happy to help, though I'd be a first time contributer.

@oscarbatori It is a good place.

I will take a look on your proposal later.

[oscarbatori]

@maciaszczykm thanks! Feel free to reach out if you want some help!

[maciaszczykm]

@oscarbatori We have updated our Kubernetes deps to 1.7.2 so it is a good time to start working on it. Are you willing to do so? We can guide you if you want. Just start with the backend and take Replica Sets as an example. Cron Jobs have to be in Workloads menu which we keep sorted alphabetically.

[oscarbatori]

@maciaszczykm yes, I can take a look this weekend!

Do you use Gitter? Just in case questions come up.
