# GKE: Sharing the same filesystem across pods

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-04-26)

I'm quite new and try to get my head around kubernetes and GKE so here it goes:

I would like an application to write data to a persistent storage.

If I'd scale up, or down, or a pod dies,
I'd like this persistent storage to survive.

Also, the same data should be available to different pods.

How do I achieve this?

The data are images, so storing them in a database could be a valid solution for this case,
but I wondered whether - if data is big - there are also solutions with filesystems
to achieve this...

Thanks for answering,

S.
