What are the three types of mounts available in Docker?
- AVolumes, bind mounts, and tmpfs mounts — each serving different persistence and performance needs
- BBlock mounts, object mounts, and network mounts — each mapped to a different cloud storage backend
- CRead-only mounts, read-write mounts, and overlay mounts — each defining a different permission level
- DHost mounts, container mounts, and shared mounts — each scoped to a different isolation boundary
Why this is the answer
Volumes are Docker-managed and preferred for production. Bind mounts map host paths directly. Tmpfs mounts live only in memory, useful for sensitive data that shouldn't persist to disk.
