Introduction
Kubernetes, as we know, is currently the most popular container orchestration tool used to scale, deploy, and manage containerized applications. In its initial days, Kubernetes was mostly used to run web-based stateless services.
However if you ever wanted to run stateful services like a database, you either had to run them in virtual machines (VM) or as a cloud-service. But with the rise of the kubernetes based hybrid-cloud, many users want to deploy stateful workloads also on top of kubernetes based clusters.
