Not sure how limited it is in practice... look on job boards for 
Kubernetes and you'll see *MANY* using it.  The core of almost 
everything I've done that past 4 years is deployed in 
Docker/Kubernetes... and there are distributed databases that thrive 
under that model (CockroachDB, Cassandra, etc).  So YMMV of course.

For example on LinkedIn jobs, Kubernetes has 83,244 active results for 
just the US.
