Description:
In this video, you will learn about Docker volumes, which are a way to persist data outside of Docker containers. This is important because containers are ephemeral, meaning that they are destroyed when they are stopped. Volumes allow you to save data so that it can be used by other containers.
What are Docker volumes?
Docker volumes are persistent storage that is mounted to Docker containers. This means that data stored in a volume can be accessed by any container that is mounted to the volume, even if the container is stopped and restarted.
Why use Docker volumes?
There are several reasons why you would want to use Docker volumes:
Data persistence: Docker volumes allow you to persist data outside of Docker containers, which means that you can keep your data even if the container is stopped or deleted.
Data sharing: Docker volumes can be shared between multiple containers, which makes it easy to share data between applications.
Data portability: Docker volumes can be easily moved between different Docker hosts, which makes it easy to back up and restore your data.
