[feature] Show task and pipeline status and events in webinterface for v2 pipelines

[geier]

Feature Area

/area frontend

What feature would you like to see?

Show the status and events of the pod for each task and the pipeline itself.

What is the use case or pain point?

In kfp v2 the webinterface doesn't show if a component of a pipeline fails to start, e.g. because of an error pulling an image.
For users not very familiar with kubernetes, this is hard to debug, they just see a "running" pod in the user interface, but don't understand that there is an error that needs to be taken care of.

Example

Example pipeline that errors out (the alpinexxxxx image does not exist):

from kfp import dsl
from kfp.client import Client


@dsl.container_component
def say_hello():
    return dsl.ContainerSpec(image='alpinexxxxx', command=['echo'], args=['Hello'])

@dsl.pipeline
def hello_pipeline():
    say_hello()
    
    
client = Client()
client.create_run_from_pipeline_func(hello_pipeline)

The user interface suggests the task is running:

Not helpful message in Details either:

k9s shows what the issue is:

Is there a workaround currently?

Use a tool such as Lens or k9s to have a look at the status and events of your pods, but this isn't great for users more focussed on the Data Science part.

this is very much relevant today, requiring the user to go into k8s and manually inspect pods is not good at all
