Storage Management in Kubernetes
Kubernetes provides a couple of built-in resources, such as Volumes, to manage storage needed for an application running on the cloud. As Kubernetes is highly adopted in the industry, there are many plugins available out of the box to make use of dynamic storage provisioning on the cloud or on-premise installations. This provides the required speed and efficiency for automation in DevOps. In the next section, we will demonstrate these native Kubernetes resources and show how to utilize them.
Volume
Kubernetes aims to address two problems with Volume abstraction. One is containers having only ephemeral storage, which is gone when the container crashes, and the other one is the need to share a common volume between the containers inside a pod.
Kubernetes provides a wide range of volume types to utilize all the cloud offerings as well as supporting on-premise solutions.
Here, you can find the full list of the volume types supported by Kubernetes...
