I am highly skeptical of container systems for persistence. Docker does not have disk I/O as a first class citizen for a reason, they're focusing (rightfully) on isolated compute and deployment/dependencies, and kubernetes, to my mind builds on that quite nicely. I generally avoid abstractions for persistence layers, but I believe I'm the minority and I believe I'm going against what the industry desires me to do. I'm not convinced this is a good idea /yet/. I did, however, see some interesting docker/kubernetes integration with ScaleIO (clustered filesystem) which cut out huge chunks of the disk I/O pipeline (for performance) and was highly resilient. The demo I saw was using postgresql, the dude yanked the cord out of the host running the postgresql pod. Quite impressive in my opinion. https://github.com/thecodeteam/rexray https://githu
