I still have to read more about this but shouldn't mounting EBS to docker container as external volume (using -v docker flag) give us similar effect? Also, who handles application based conflicts when two same 'component' containers try to write on same volume (as they are exactly the same just replicated). I hope I am not being naive.

So, Kubernetes will not allow more then one pod (Collection of containers) to mount the same persistent volume (* in most cases, exceptions with some types of network storage.) Supergiant goes a step further and automatically ensures that multiple managed pods are provided with storage based off of a volume blueprint. This is all to say, that Kubernetes, and Supergiant automate the "-v" operation for you. Very useful when spinning up thousands of containers, then herding the cats..
