checklist showcasing progress of a job

[atinsood]

Objective

It'd be helpful to have a basic checklist in place in dashboard that shows the different steps involved in running a job, and the progress of these steps to give visibility to the user.

Proposed implementation

An initial implementation can be a basic checklist with steps like

1. provisioning cluster
2. scheduling workload
3. running workload

and as these steps are being executed, a checkmark against these, just to give user a sense of what to expect next

UI Possibilities:

• Progress stepper/punch charts ( o -- /\ -- x -- o -- o)
  • stretch: click on a step, give details of that step
  • risks: hard-codes the "schema" of the solution, requires continual maintenance
• Timeline/waterfall
  • what's happening in time
• Grid views
  • what's in happening space
