前言
定时伸缩（cronhpa）是很多开发者在解决负载周期性时最常用的方法，通过类似crontab的语法可以在一个时间点定时触发伸缩活动。crontab的语义表达是很强大的，但是也存在语法复杂，执行计划容易被打断等问题。为了解决上述的问题，定时伸缩（cronhpa）提供了运维模式，支持通过运维页面来查看底层排队的定时任务，同时也提供了API接口用于开发者自研的平台接入与集成。
定时伸缩组件运维模式介绍
当通过ACK的应用目录或者开源社区的模板下发最新版本定时伸缩组件（cronhpa）后，默认在8000端口就已经开启了运维模式。我们先给定时伸缩组件（cronhpa）创建一个svc用来访问运维页面。
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: kubernetes-cronhpa-controller
namespace: kube-system
spec:
ports:
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 8000
selector:
app: ack-kubernetes-cronhpa-controller
sessionAffinity: None
type: ClusterIP此时，在本地我们可以通过执行kubectl proxy --port=8080启动proxy模式，再在本地浏览器中输入http://localhost:8080/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-cronhpa-controller/proxy/ 即可访问运维管理页面。
让我们来解析下这个页面中展现的字段和使用的方式。
- CronHPA：定时伸缩CRD的名字。
- Namespace：定时伸缩CRD的命名空间。
- Id：伸缩任务的唯一Id，这个Id的作用是唯一决定一个任务的信息。
当CRD中出现了JobId与底层CronEngine中的Id不匹配的情况，说明CRD中的任务没有及时被下发到底层的定时执行引擎中，此时就需要特别关注下定时伸缩（cronhpa）组件稳定性的问题了。
- Pre：上一次任务执行的时间，如果这个数值是初始时间（0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC）说明任务还没有被执行过。
- Next：下一次任务执行的时间，用来确认定时引擎中是否已经有正确排队的任务。
通常情况下，我们只需要通过页面大盘确认下发的作业已经存在，并且Pre/Next这两个字段是正常的状态，基本就可以确认定时任务可以正常执行了。如果开发者有自己的运维管理系统，可以使用API的方式进行接入。接口地址：http://localhost:8080/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-cronhpa-controller/proxy/api.json

通过运维页面和API，开发者可以很好地洞悉定时伸缩（cronhpa）组件的底层状态，提供更确切的伸缩保障。如果对于运维模式有更多的建议，请提交到社区。
