Kubernetes Volumes and Persistent Volumes Explained
Containers are ephemeral by nature, meaning data stored inside them disappears when a pod is restarted. To persist data in Kubernetes, we use Volumes and Persistent Volumes.
- Kubernetes Volumes: Basics
A Volume in Kubernetes provides storage that can be shared across containers within a pod. Unlike a container’s filesystem, a Kubernetes volume exists as long as the pod exists.
Types of Kubernetes Volumes:
Volume Type Description emptyDir Temporary storage that exists while the pod is running. hostPath Mounts a directory from the worker node’s filesystem. configMap / secret Mounts a ConfigMap or Secret as a file. persistentVolumeClaim Connects to a Persistent Volume (PV) for long-term storage.
