Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching

Volumes in Kubernetes are used to store data used by our applications. So that concept is very similar to volumes in docker containers.

Declarative Kubernetes

Imperative approach using kubectl .... is great, but we came at some point to situation where our commands became too long with many parameters or that running the same command again and again was time-consuming and more error-prone. That is where we stop using imperative approach and start to use declarative approach with Kubernetes Resource definition files.

So buckle up and let’s dive into the Kubernetes basics.
