Docker can certainly work, but for any kind of production application =
don=E2=80=99t keep the storage inside of the containers.  Take a look at =
the approach Crunchy Data (crunchydata.com) has done in their Kubernetes =
orchestrator for PostgreSQL clusters as a solid implementation example.  =
Sarah Conway good a good presentation at PostgresOpn SV last September, =
it may be online somewhere.=20
