Your question is Stateful Apps in Auto-Scaling Containers. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are designing the operating approach for a stateful application that now needs to run in a containerized, auto-scaling environment. The system must keep data durable and available while still benefiting from elastic scaling, safe deployments, and fast recovery during failures.
How would you handle stateful applications in a containerized, auto-scaling environment?
