Generally speaking, you probably shouldn't run databases in k8s unless you need to scale them dynamically, or cloud disk performance is acceptable to you. Having said that, k8s is getting a lot of support for running databases on local disks. A lot of newsql databases (CockroachDB, TiDB, Yugabyte, Vitess, etc) are shipping with strong k8s support/integration.
