Episode 76 — Persistent Storage and Volumes for Containerized Apps
In this episode, we explore how persistent storage supports containerized applications that need to retain data beyond the container lifecycle. We explain the difference between ephemeral storage, which is tied to a container’s runtime, and persistent volumes that survive restarts and redeployments. Storage backends, including block, file, and object storage, are discussed along with their integration into container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. The focus is on ensuring data durability, performance consistency, and compatibility with application requirements.
We also cover strategies for managing stateful workloads in otherwise stateless container environments, such as volume claims, dynamic provisioning, and replication for high availability. In the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to recognize when persistent storage is essential and how to configure it appropriately within a containerized deployment. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
