What are the different volume mount types available in docker

Question

I'm a bit confused with the different types of volume mounts in docker.Could you please explain?

Answer 1

There are three mount types available in Docker   

•  Volumes are stored in a part of the host filesystem which is managed by Docker (/var/lib/docker/volumes/ on Linux). Non-Docker processes should not modify this part of the filesystem. Volumes are the best way to persist data in Docker.
• Bind mounts may be stored anywhere on the host system. They may even be important system files or directories. Non-Docker processes on the Docker host or a Docker container can modify them at any time.
• tmpfs mounts are stored in the host system’s memory only, and are never written to the host system’s filesystem.
  
  An easy way to visualize the difference among volumes, bind mounts, and tmpfs mounts is to think about where the data lives on the Docker host.
