Jobs and Cronjobs lifecycle should be controlled by snoopy-operator

[acmenezes]

Currently the jobs are owned by snoopyJob CR and if a completed job is deleted by hand the controller restarts it. We need a solution to control the whole lifecycle of jobs avoiding those restarts and doing the proper cleanup.

• One way to accomplish this is by using the status field to register all the Jobs and CronJobs that were completed.
• With that the controller should always verify if the Job is registered in the status field as completed before initializing it.
• Add a finalizer to the snoopyJob CR to make sure this routine is checked if the CR is deleted and also if someone tries to delete those Jobs by hand.

Hi Alex,
I would like to take this but would like to discuss exact requirements/process. Let's discuss this in our next meeting.

Sure @tokalevasant ! We can discuss in our meeting.

As per our triage meeting we agreed that a finalizer would the best way to accomplish this.
The finalizer would be used by the reconciler for:

• check the job status
• if job completed it would delete the finalizer
• update the CR status field with job completed
