Running databases on Kubernetes is increasingly common, but Day 2 operational challenges like backup, failover, and resilience remain difficult. Cloud DBaaS solves these problems but creates vendor lock-in. Kubernetes Operators can provide equivalent functionality without lock-in, but doing so consistently across all databases is hard. Percona's Everest project has been donated to the CNCF and rebranded as OpenEverest — a fully open source platform for automating database provisioning and management on any Kubernetes infrastructure, with community-driven support for additional databases over time.
