Understanding Docker: part 31 – Volumes

Understanding Docker can be difficult or time-consuming. In order to spread knowledge about Cloud technologies I started to create sketchnotes about Docker. I think it could be a good way, more visual, to explain Docker (and other technologies like Kubernetes and Istio).

We continue the series of Docker sketchnotes with a focus about volumes.

As usual, if you like theses sketchnotes, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think. I will publish others sketchs shortly :-).

If you are interested, I published all the sketchnotes on Docker (and new ones!) to make a "book" of 93 pages: "Understanding Docker in a visual way".

Would you please explain more about named volumes, as I came across some docker-compose.yml files contain named volumes but I didn't know where they are stored locally, for example:

Docker-compose service
mysql:
.
.
.
volumes:

  • mysqlVolume:/etc/mysql/my.cfg

Volumes:

  • mysqlVolume:
