Using filelock in docker

[arunpt]

Right now, I'm serving multiple instances of my app on a server, and filelock is working perfectly as expected by acquiring and releasing locks, even when multiple requests come in simultaneously. If I'm scaling my application using Docker and Kubernetes, I'm concerned about how filelock is going to behave since each container is independent of each other. I'm planning to mount a shared storage that would be accessible to all the containers. Will it help in any case, or is there any approach available to achieve the present behavior across multiple Docker containers?
