Volume
Persistent storage that outlives a container
Core Idea
Volume is Persistent storage that outlives a container. Docker-managed named volumes keep database or upload data even when containers are rebuilt, while bind mounts point to host directories and tmpfs mounts live only in memory. It usually makes the most sense alongside Image, Container, Bridge.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong reuses this term across docker posts as shared vocabulary.
