Data Storage¶

Any local or remote storage must be thought of as a hard drive plugged into the K8 cluster. K8 does not manage any data persistence. So, the system admin is responsible for backing up the data storage and managing it.
Working with stateful pods is difficult. So, it is a common practice to host databases outside the K8 cluster and use K8 only for stateless applications.
