  1. storage

"Storage Management"

The Storage Management system allows you to create and manage persistent storage volumes for your virtual machines.
To check your profile completion status:
1.
Navigate to Account Settings
2.
Verify all required fields are completed
3.
Ensure billing address is fully filled out

Volume Types#

The platform supports different volume types for various use cases:
Standard Volumes
General-purpose storage for data and applications
Specifications:
Minimum size: 10GB
Maximum size: 1,048,576GB (1TB)
Performance: Optimized for GPU workloads
Persistence: Data persists across VM lifecycles
Attachment: Can be attached to any VM in the same region
Use cases: Application data, databases, file storage
Bootable Volumes
Volumes containing an operating system that can boot a VM
Specifications:
Minimum size: 100GB
Maximum size: 1,048,576GB (1TB)
Initialization: Must have a valid OS image
Usage: Can be used to deploy new VMs
Benefits: Preserves installed software and configurations
Use cases: Custom OS setups, pre-configured environments

Volume Storage Pricing#

Volume Dashboard Statistics#

The Volumes page displays key statistics for your storage in the selected region:
Total Volumes: Number of volumes in the selected region
Total Storage: Combined storage allocated across all volumes (in GB)
Attached Volumes: Number of volumes currently attached to VMs
Bootable Volumes: Number of volumes that can be used to boot VMs

Pagination and Display#

Volume management includes efficient pagination:
6 volumes displayed per page
Previous/Next navigation with page numbers
Pagination controls appear when more than 6 volumes exist
Grid layout adjusts for desktop (3 columns) and mobile (1 column)

Volume Operations#
