☁️ Free practice test question from: Container Orchestration (KCNA)

Containers are ephemeral: Containers are designed to be easily created and destroyed. Their lifecycle is short-lived. If data was stored within the container's filesystem, it would be lost when the container is removed.

Volumes provide persistence: Volumes are independent storage units that are mounted into containers. This means the volume's data persists even if the container is stopped, removed, or recreated.

Flexibility: A single volume can be attached to multiple containers (though often not simultaneously for write access, unless using technologies designed for shared access like network file systems - NFS). This allows for data sharing and management across different container instances.
