Publish Watson Studio Scheduled Job Workflow and Pod Dependencies

Description: We would like to request an enhancement to provide official documentation that explains the workflow of scheduled jobs in Watson Studio, including pod dependencies and related components.

Background:

  • Multiple customers have reported frequent failures of scheduled jobs for various reasons.

  • In air-gapped environments, collecting diagnostic logs can take significant time.

  • During system downtime, while logs are being collected, customers may have options such as restarting pods to recover the system. However, there is no official documentation that provides a clear understanding of the overall workflow.

Request: If the job workflow and pod dependency details were published, customers could:

  • Understand the architecture and relationships between components.

  • Identify which areas to check first when troubleshooting.

  • Potentially reduce recovery time by taking appropriate actions before full log analysis is completed.

Benefit: Publishing this information would help customers shorten system recovery time and improve self-service troubleshooting capabilities.

Since the potential business impact could be significant, we would like to share those information with customer as soon as possible.
