Definitely. Thanks for asking and I am happy to provide more background. The MXNet Operator has v1 controller. However, there has no formal release on GitHub and it has not been included in Kubeflow by default yet. Though users are welcome to use it as a standalone k8s operator. This will hopefully be something the community will help drive forward as the initial authors are not active. I don't have a good idea of who's using it yet externally but I'll start by adding an ADOPTERS.md. *If your company uses MXNet Operator, please let me know*. I will post the link to the PR once it's ready.
Another easy-to-use option on k8s would be using Horovod + MXNet with *Kubeflow MPI Operator* [0] (I just added a section in MXNet's doc on this [1]), which already has wide range of industry adopters [2] even though it's still in v1alpha2. I would strongly encourage the community to contribute since the ease-of-use on distributed Kubernetes cluster is one perspective to compete with and learn from other frameworks. Kubeflow also has tf-operator and pytorch-operator which are being used by many companies.
