With the rapid adoption of Kubernetes in organizations and the push to standardize the orchestration of resources with this approach, databases are now also being deployed into Kubernetes. Historically, persistent workloads like databases were not recommended to be deployed into Kubernetes because it was complex to manage how data would be stored. This was a result of Kubernetes originally being designed for non-persistent microservice architectures. However, in more recent times new database vendors are emerging with software built from the ground up to run in this environment.
