This brings back memories - we speced an open distributed operating system called Metal Cell and built an implementation called Cell-OS. It was inspired by the "Datacenter as a computer" paper, but built with open-source tech. We had it running accross bare metal, AWS and Azure and it one of the key aspects was that it handled persistent workloads for big data, including distributed databases. Kubernetes was just getting built when we started and was supposed to be a Mesos scheduler initially. I assumed Kubernetes would get all the pieces in and make things easier, but I still miss the whole paradigm we had almost 10 years ago. This is retro now :) https://github.com/cell-os/metal-cell https://github.com/cell-os/metal-cell https://github.com/cell-os/cell-os https://github.com/cell-os/cell-os
