I understand your point, but my view onto the topic is a different one.

I wonder if anybody here is happy to maintain and backup a crowd of MySQL
servers in individual containers or VM's.  I personally don't, therefore I'd
be happy to aggregate the MySQL-requirements into a single or at least as
few as possible instance and do proper maintenance and backup just there.

Cheers,
