Kubernetes Explained, via the 1997 Blockbuster Titanic

The text uses the metaphor of the Titanic ship to explain Kubernetes and distributed database technology. It describes the original Titanic as a single-instance, monolithic system that is grand but vulnerable to disasters like hitting an iceberg. In contrast, it proposes reimagining the Titanic with multiple boats (replicas) and a Helm chart for better disaster recovery and high availability. The author also draws parallels between characters from the movie "Titanic" and Kubernetes/CockroachDB to emphasize the importance of stateful systems in today's distributed computing environments.
