Answer

  • emptyDir: created when a Pod assigned to a node and ceases to exist when the Pod is no longer running on that node
  • hostPath: mounts a path from the host itself. Usually not used due to security risks but has multiple use-cases where it's needed like access to some internal host paths (/sys, /var/lib, etc.)
