A pipe dream. Having recently interacted with a modern k8s operator for Postgres, it lacked support for many features that had been around for a long time. I'd be surprised if MySQL's operators are that much better. Also consider the data layer, which is going to need to be solved regardless. Of course at Uber's scale they could write their own, I guess. At that point, if you're reaching in and scripting your pods to do what you want, you lose a lot of the benefits of convention and reusability that k8s promotes.
