7. Mounting storage volumes into the Pod’s containers

This chapter covers

• Persisting files across container restarts
• Sharing files between containers of the same pod
• Sharing files between pods
• Attaching network storage to pods
• Accessing the host node filesystem from within a pod

The previous two chapters focused on the pod’s containers, but they are only half of what a pod typically contains. They are typically accompanied by storage volumes that allow a pod’s containers to store data for the lifetime of the pod or beyond, or to share files with the other containers of the pod. This is the focus of this chapter.
