Clarification on Volumes

menders

In Chapter 5, there is a section on Volumes and Storage Objects. I found some of the wording a bit confusing, but in this section in particular:

The diagram shows a volume sharing data between multiple pods in a node, but the text says the volume is used for sharing data between multiple containers in a pod. I am not sure if this is a typo since that would make sense for a sidecar pattern.

Hello @menders

Thank you for pointing that out. The statement will be revised to reduce ambiguity.

What it actually means is volumes are used to share data between pods and also between containers in a same pod (side car patterns).

This has been fixed in the course.
