But we also need to store other data like ISO images, container templates, backups, and so on, somewhere. It's fine to keep these on just one node if that suits your purposes, or to keep each node's copies of these things on its own storage, or something like that, but that can get a little bit wasteful and disorganized. To centralize our resources and make sure they're not tied to just one node, we can use shared storage resources that nodes can access. Because shared storage is independent of any particular node, we can consolidate various kinds of content in just one place, and use it from any node that has permission to access it.
