Interestingly, our partner RedHat reported in 2021 that around 80% of deployed workloads are databases or data caches, storing data in persistent volume claims (PVCs). You quickly realize that it will take ages to fill up the overprovisioned database storage. Two days later, your database runs out of storage in the middle of the night.
