Kubernetes supports a variety of other types of storage volumes. A full list can be found here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#types-of-volumes.
Here are a few that may be of particular interest:
- nfs: This type allows us to mount a Network File Share (NFS), which can be very useful for both persisting the data and sharing it across the infrastructure
- gitrepo: As you might have guessed, this option clones a Git repository into a new and empty folder
