Mounting AWS EBS volume when launching VM with Docker Machine

Archive Machine

Hi All,

At The Data Guild, we’re exploring using Docker and Docker Machine to simplify our workflow in spinning up environments in AWS to support data analysis and machine learning task. I’ve worked out most of the details but have two outstanding questions.

  1. When launching a VM in AWS with Docker Machine, how do I specify an EBS volume to attach to that VM?
  2. How do I map the EBS volume through to a path in the container running on the VM?

Thanks for your assistance!
