Using Docker containers requires different storage solutions, as we have learned through this book. Images and containers are created using multiple-layer filesystem strategies. However, we also have to manage persistence in our container-based applications. This persistence can be associated with application data, but we also have to be able to manage configurations and states cluster-wide.
We learned about security in Chapter 1, Modern Infrastructures and Applications with Docker, Chapter 2, Building Docker Images, Chapter 4, Container Persistency and Networking, and Chapter 13, Implementing an Enterprise-Grade Registry with DTR.
This is a quick summary of the topics looked at in this book regarding storage and volume management within containers. We recommend you read through this summary to ensure you remember the concepts learned:
- We learned that containers are based on different filesystems and solutions with a common feature –...
