Exploring Kubernetes Storage and Recent Innovations

In this episode of Kubernetes Bytes, the hosts explore the topic of Container and Kubernetes Storage 101. This podcast focuses on a beginner/101 level view of why containers need storage, how volumes were originally used by docker, how orchestration systems like Kubernetes needed to orchestrate volumes and what basic building blocks are used in Kubernetes to manage persistent storage. This episode is a great way to familiarize listeners with a little bit of container and volume history as well as how persistent storage is used in Kubernetes today.
