### Ephemeral FS and Data Persistence
As any data stored within the container's ephemeral FS is lost when the container is stopped or removed, it poses a challenge to data persistence in applications. This is especially problematic for applications like databases, which require data to be persisted across multiple container life cycles.

- **Bind mounts**: Mapping a host machine's directory or file into a container, effectively sharing host's storage with the container.
- **tmpfs mounts**: In-memory storage, useful for cases where just the persistence of data within the life-cycle of the container is required.
By implementing these strategies, Docker ensures that application data can be preserved beyond the life-cycle of a single container, making it possible to work with stateful applications.
