I cannot understand why people in this thread are saying people who want state are holding it wrong. If you are saying that k8s falls down on state — literally the only hard problem — then why are you bothering take on the complexity of k8s? What are you running on k8s that is stateless and can’t be served by ec2 instances in auto scaling groups? State management is the killer feature for k8s; it manages all the complexity and presents you a fiction where stateful apps can be written like they’re actually stateless.
