# Introduction to Docker Storage

> This article explains Docker storage mechanisms, focusing on storage drivers and volume driver plugins, essential for understanding container orchestration in Kubernetes.

In this lesson, we delve into how storage operates within container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes by starting with the foundational concepts in Docker storage.

A thorough understanding of Docker's storage mechanisms is crucial because it simplifies the transition to concepts used in Kubernetes. When discussing Docker storage, two fundamental elements are explained: storage drivers and volume driver plugins.
