Sharing Storage between Containers
What are Stateless applications?
Stateless application are those applications that do not maintain any form of persistent state or data locally.
How are Stateful application different from Stateless applications?
Those applications that maintain some form of persistent state or data are called stateful applications. The key characteristic that differentiate them from stateless applications is that these applications don’t rely on storing data locally and they don’t treat each request as independent.
What is Kubernetes Volume?
Volume in Kubernetes is a data storing feature with the help of which we can store data that is persistent and can be accessed by containers in a Kubernetes pod.
How to share storage between Kubernetes Containers?
In Kubernetes, sharing storage between Containers can be achieved by the help of Kubernetes Volumes, a Volume in Kubernetes is a data storing feature with the help of which we can store data that is persistent and can be accessed by containers in a Kubernetes pod.
What are types of Volume in Kubernetes?
There are five types of Volume in Kubernetes:
- Persistent Volumes
- Ephemeral Volumes
- EmptyDir Volumes
- Kubernetes hostPath Volumes
- Kubernetes Volumes ConfigMap
How To Share Storage Between Containers In Kubernetes ?
Kubernetes, or K8s, is an open-sourced container orchestration technology that is used to automate the manual processes of deploying, managing, and scaling applications by the help of containers. Kubernetes uses a single container per pod, which is great for most stateless applications, but some applications require more than one container to work together and require some way to persist data and share storage between pods. Sharing storage between containers in a Kubernetes cluster can be achieved with the help of Kubernetes volumes. A volume in Kubernetes is a data-storing feature with the help of which we can store persistent data that can be accessed by containers in a Kubernetes pod. In this article, we will discuss how to share storage between containers in a Kubernetes cluster using volumes.
