Volumes

• Docker volume is the recommended way to store data created and utilized by containers.
• Since container layer is non-persistent, we use volumes to persist that data docker volume create my-volume
• When mounting a volume, we have to specify the source (volume) and destination path in the image. docker run -it -v my-volume:/my-data ubuntu:22.01
• A volume can be used by multiple containers at the same time

Bind mount

• Instead of volumes, we can also bind a file or directory on the host computer to the image.
• They are not recommended because the isolated process interacts with the host computer.
