One of the reasons is probably possibility to take automated snapshots of your volumes, another maybe that you can use some kind of redundancy. However, there are still use cases where you need more traditional ways to backup your data. In this article we will discuss about syncing files from your Kubernetes volume to S3 compatible storage.

The other two types can be mounted multiple times, meaning multiple pods can access the same data. In case of ReadOnlyMany all pods can just read the data, but in case of ReadWriteMany all pods can read and write data. In this article we are going to focus to these volumes that we can mount multiple times. ...
