Review different Volume types in https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#types-of-volumes.

The file system of a [[Container]] exists as long as the Container exists. Therefore, when a Container is destroyed or restarted, changes made to the file system are lost. For more consistent storage that is independent of the Container life cycle, you can use a Volume, review different Volume types in https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#types-of-volumes.
 +
 
 +
This feature is especially important for applications that must maintain a status, such as key-value storage engines (for example Redis) and databases.

Create a Pod that runs a single Container. This Pod has a Volume of type <code>emptyDir</code> (empty directory) (see [[Volume]] for volume types) that exists throughout the Pod's life cycle, even when the Container is destroyed and restarted. Here is the Pod configuration file:
