"I was recovering a database where the persistent volume wasn't setup right and the container got killed and restarted." In other words, your database application was using scratch storage instead of persistent volumes? What this anecdote shows is that the developers or admins responsible to setup the database didn't do it properly. Also, testing failures and data recovery should be your priority before going to production. I don't see how you could blame that on software. |

The point is not to say it wasn't human error - clearly it was, but it's an error that wouldn't have been as easy to make without kubernetes. There's a cost to running a database on k8s that largely people ignore. That's before you start talking about backups and recovery which also get harder and require more manual work with more potential for error.
