Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: at least one processing platform comprising: a data fabric layer comprising at least one database application; and a storage infrastructure layer underlying the data fabric layer and comprising a plurality of storage servers; wherein the database application comprises a plurality of nodes associated with respective containers; wherein the storage infrastructure layer implements one or more virtual storage volumes for each of the nodes of the database application of the data fabric layer using the plurality of storage servers; wherein responsive to detection of a failure of a given one of the nodes of the database application, the one or more virtual storage volumes associated with the given node are utilized to facilitate instantiation of a replacement node for the given node; wherein responsive to the detected failure, a new container is started for the replacement node and pointed to the one or more virtual storage volumes associated with the given node; wherein in conjunction with facilitating instantiation of the replacement node, the one or more virtual storage volumes are unmounted from the given node and are attached to the replacement node; and wherein the processing platform is implemented using at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
