In this chapter, we will discuss using popular open source storage solutions on Kubernetes and how to protect the state of applications from node or application failures and share the same data, or how to handle reattaching volumes when the pod is rescheduled on a different node. After following the recipes in this chapter, you will have acquired the skills to use both block and file storage options in self-managed infrastructure or private clouds.
