The specific Docker storage driver widely recommended for its performance and efficiency on modern Linux systems, especially for production use, is `overlay2`. A Docker storage driver is the component responsible for managing how Docker stores image layers and container data on the host machine's filesystem. It implements the copy-on-write (CoW) strategy, which is fundamental to how Docker images are structured and how containers operate. Copy-on-write is an optimization technique where multiple instances, such as Docker containers, can share a single copy of data, such as an image layer, with a separate, private copy made only when an instance modifies that data. This significantly saves disk space and reduces the time it takes to start n....
