NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

We recommend caution in managing stateful systems via container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes. Some databases are not built with native support for orchestration — they don't expect a scheduler to kill and relocate them to a different host. Building a highly available service on top of such databases is not trivial, and we still recommend running them on bare metal hosts or a virtual machine (VM) rather than to force-fit them into a container orchestration platform.
