### Containers Self Assesment

<summary>What is a Container? What is it used for?</summary><br><b>
<summary>What is a Container?</summary><br><b>
Containers are a form of operating system virtualization. A single container might be used to run anything from a small microservice or software process to a larger application. Inside a container are all the necessary executables, binary code, libraries, and configuration files, making them easy to ship and run with same expected results on different machines.
This can be tricky to answer since there are many ways to create a containers:
- Docker
- systemd-nspawn
- LXC
If to focus on OCI (Open Container Initiative) based containers, it offers the following [definition](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/glossary.md#container): "An environment for executing processes with configurable isolation and resource limitations. For example, namespaces, resource limits, and mounts are all part of the container environment."
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>Why containers are needed?</summary><br><b>
OCI provides a good [explanation](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/principles.md#the-5-principles-of-standard-containers): "Define a unit of software delivery called a Standard Container. The goal of a Standard Container is to encapsulate a software component and all its dependencies in a format that is self-describing and portable, so that any compliant runtime can run it without extra dependencies, regardless of the underlying machine and the contents of the container."
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>How are containers different from virtual machines (VMs)?</summary><br><b>
The primary difference between containers and VMs is that containers allow you to virtualize
multiple workloads on the operating system while in the case of VMs the hardware is being virtualized to run multiple machines each with its own OS.
multiple workloads on a single operating system while in the case of VMs, the hardware is being virtualized to run multiple machines each with its own guest OS.
You can also think about it as containers are for OS-level virtualization while VMs are for hardware virtualization.
* Containers don't require an entire guest operating system as VMs. Containers share the system's kernel as opposed to VMs. They isolate themselves via the use of namespaces and cgroups

* you need full isolation and security

<summary>What is the OCI?</summary><br><b>
OCI (Open Container Initiative) is an open governance established in 2015 to standardize container creation - format, runtime, etc. At that time there were a number of parties involved and the most prominent one was Docker.

#### Kubernetes - Storage

<summary>What is a volume in regards to Kubernetes?</summary><br><b>
A directory accessible by the containers inside a certain Pod. The mechanism responsible for creating the directory and managing it, ... is mainly depends on the volume type.
</b></details>
<details>
<summary>Which problems volumes in Kubernetes solve?</summary><br><b>
1. Sharing files between containers running in the same Pod
2. Storage in containers is ephemeral - it usually doesn't last for long. For example, when a container crashes, you lose all on-disk data.

<summary>Explain ephemeral volume types vs. persistent volumes in regards to Pods</summary><br><b>
Ephemeral volume types have the lifetime of a pod as opposed to persistent volumes which exist beyond the lifetime of a Pod.
