Meanwhile arguably the whole reason Kubernetes took off compared to other container orchestrators is support for StatefulSets and Persistent Volumes.
Lots of people run their databases on Kubernetes, but it’s best to remember that Pod ephemerality makes it a more complicated orchestrator than them on VMs. That’s said, the market seems to have decided that’s what they want.
- user5994461 6y agoFunny enough, I agree and often hear of statefulset as a pro of kubernetes, yet I've much more rarely seen companies actually using the statefulset let alone migrate their databases to kubernetes. There is a gap between liking a technology and migrating a hundred critical production databases onto it.
- parasubvert 6y agoThese things take time. Having sold a stateless container PaaS for many years, the main technical objection is they couldn’t run a database on it, you still needed VMs (even if they were on demand). People caught in tech fads get obsessed with mechanism over outcome.
