On-disk files in a container are ephemeral, which presents some problems for
15
- non-trivial applications when running in containers. One problem
16
- is the loss of files when a container crashes. The kubelet restarts the container
17
- but with a clean state. A second problem occurs when sharing files
18
- between containers running together in a ` Pod ` .

+ non-trivial applications when running in containers. One problem occurs when
16
+ a container crashes or is stopped. Container state is not saved so all of the
17

19
+ Another problem occurs when multiple containers are running in a ` Pod ` and
20

21

The Kubernetes {{< glossary_tooltip text="volume" term_id="volume" >}} abstraction

solves both of these problems.
