Got it. That's an interesting point of view. I think it makes sense in the data workloads, especially in the database one. Consider for example how database workloads are still lagging behind in Kubernetes, and - most importantly - viceversa (Kubernetes is a hard topic IMO for traditional DBAs).

Operators are there to help in both cases, and this is the goal of our CloudNativePG operator.

IMO CNCF represents an opportunity for vendors of the same database engine to converge in a healthy community and provide the best operator for their platform. This is probably the first stage.

The second stage could be to study those operators (of different engines, like Postgres, MySQL, ...) and generalize commonalities in a sort of standard spec. Just an idea. Is this in line with what you are thinking?

Thanks!
