Some of the key advantages for using volumes over bind mounts are:

  • Easier to back up or migrate rather than bind mounts (legacy volumes).

  • Managed with Docker CLI or API (Puppet type uses the CLI commands).

  • Works on Windows and Linux.

  • Easily shared between containers.

  • Allows for store volumes on remote hosts or cloud providers.

  • Encrypt contents of volumes.

  • Add other functionality

  • New volume's contents can be pre-populated by a container.
