Container workers for a parks permitting app use scratch disks that vanish when containers stop, but resident-uploaded documents must survive redeploys. How should data lifecycle be handled?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Scratch disks are like whiteboard notes that get erased when the meeting ends. Resident documents belong in a filing cabinet—persistent storage—not on the whiteboard.
Full Explanation
Ephemeral storage tied to container or instance lifetime is unsuitable for durable user data because it is discarded on stop or replace. Persistent block volumes or object storage preserve documents across lifecycle events. Designing durability intentionally prevents silent data loss during normal scale and redeploy operations.
