Abstract: There has been a major shift towards building stateless applications using containers due to added benefits in terms of portability, agility and resilience containers provide to the application runtime. With the added growth of container adoption, a breed of new applications stateful in nature are being built which would necessitate the need for persistent storage for containers. This paper examines the architecture requirements for stateful applications in a containerized environment and discusses the different persistent storage options available and needed for stateful applications using containers.
