title: Can Magento 1.9 be stateless?
body: <p>I am trying to deploy a <code>Magento</code> 1.9 store on a <code>Kubernetes</code> cluster. A major concern I have is the "statelessness" of Magento. More specifically:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Can I use an S3 for all my <code>media/</code> directory?</p></li>
  <li><p>Can config (and other types of) files that Magento keeps in the file system be bundled up with in a Docker file? </p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What I mean is that I need to NOT use a <code>PersistentVolume</code> and be able to think as my pods (containers) as entities that I can restart often and with no worries of data/config inconsistency. For instance, <code>Django</code> or <code>NodeJS</code> can perfectly fit this description, but this is not the case with <code>WordPress</code>, which is why I worry I'll have difficulties with its <code>PhP</code> brother <code>Magento</code>...</p>
