Yeah. Would be really interesting to see a container technology that people were eager to use for DB management. Persistent storage is the thing that hasn't clicked yet.
My guess is this technology will be some kind of cluster management. If there were a 'platform' for horizontally scaling data that managed sharding, rebalancing & backups plus gave me user-space hooks to override policies, databases might slowly & cautiously build on top of it.
Most DBs have their own of these (pgpool, mongos, redis sentinel, all of cassandra & hadoop) but would be cool to centralize the common reqs and collaborate.
