You have an application that needs to persist data in a container.  The container needs to run on several VMs with access to the same files.

An associate suggests that you use a bind mount.

Does this solution meet your needs?

A) No

B) Yes

Explanation

A bind mount will not work. You should use a named volume or a SMB volume instead.

A bind mount allows you to have a place to store files on the local machine if you need to share the files with multiple containers or if you need to restart the container.

A SMB mount or named volume can have the container run on several VMs with access to the same files.
