Kubernetes and alike are not solving this problem. But you can just drop in a distributed POSIX filesystem that provides file systems that are accessible (concurrently) from any host and hence any container.

For Quobyte we added an implicit file locking mechanism that exclusively locks any file an open. This way you can protect files from corruption through unintended concurrent access from applications that are not prepared to run in this environment. This way you can also build HA mysql without using mysql's replication mechanisms but resorting to the rescheduling of the container scheduler in case of a machine failure.
