Also true about Docker Swarm.

I strongly believe this (in particular, "hosted Kubernetes as a service") will start arriving soon. It's a great business opportunity.

Kubernetes solves this. For example, if you're on GCE or AWS, you can just declare that your container needs a certain amount of disk capacity, and it will automatically provision and mount a persistent block storage for you. Kubernetes handles the mounting/unmounting automatically. Kill a pod and it might arise on some other node, with the right volume mounted.
