The Volume Mechanism

Volumes are mounted filesystems available to pods and their containers. Volumes may be backed by a number of host-local or network attached storage endpoints. The simplest volume type is EmptyDir, which is a temporary directory on a single machine. Administrators may also allow to request and attach Persistent Volumes.
