This Pod has a Volume of type emptyDir that lasts for the life of the Pod, even if the Container terminates and restarts. Here is the configuration file for the Pod\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n   kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/pods/storage/redis.yaml\n```\n\nVerify that the Pod's Container is running, and then watch for changes to the Pod\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n   kubectl get pod redis --watch\n```\n\nThe output looks like this\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n   NAME      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE\n   redis     1/1       Running   0          13s\n```\n\nIn another terminal, get a shell to the running Container\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n   kubectl exec -it redis -- /bin/bash\n```\n\nIn your shell, go to /data/redis, and then create a file\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n   root@redis:/data# cd /data/redis/\n   root@redis:/data/redis# echo Hello > test-file\n```\n\nIn your shell, list the running processes\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\n   root@redis:/data/redis# apt-get update\n   root@redis:/data/redis# apt-get install procps\n   root@redis:/data/redis# ps aux\n```\n\nThe output is similar to this\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n   USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND\n   redis        1  0.1  0.1  33308  3828 ?

Eventually, you will see something like this …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
