No one said that. > With persistent storage it's not just possible, There's some confusion on your remarks. A container can be ephemeral even if it has access to persistent data. I mean, think about it: isn't a container still ephemeral even if it has a database connection? Ephemeral is about internal state, and how recreating a container after deleting it will get it in the exact same state.
