Docker Storage Demystified Using Bind Mounts, Volumes and Image Based Deployments

About Book

The book provides a comprehensive resource designed to provide learners with a clear, structured and hands-on understanding of Docker storage mechanisms through carefully designed laboratory experiments. This book is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world implementation of Docker storage concepts. Each topic is introduced through concise explanations and reinforced using step-by-step laboratory exercises that demonstrate actual container behavior across development and production environments. Rather than focusing solely on commands, the experiments emphasize why certain approaches work, why others fail, and how Docker behaves internally—enabling learners to develop strong conceptual clarity along with practical expertise. A key strength of this book lies in its experiment-driven approach, where learners observe Docker storage behavior firsthand by working with bind mounts, named volumes and Dockerfile-based image builds. Through controlled scenarios, truth tables and comparative analysis, students gain a deep understanding of data persistence, portability and runtime dependencies. This experiential learning approach enhances problem-solving skills, builds confidence and prepares learners to make informed architectural decisions in real-world projects.
