The Storage Management system allows you to create and manage persistent storage volumes for your virtual machines.

Prerequisites

Required Before Creating Volumes

  • Complete Profile: Your profile must be complete with billing information (address, postal code, country)
  • Minimum Balance: Account must have sufficient credits:
    • USD: Minimum $1.00
    • EUR: Minimum €1.00
    • INR: Minimum ₹100.00

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 Storage: $0.1 per TB per hour (€0.1 per TB per hour | ₹10 per TB per hour)

Billing is calculated hourly based on provisioned storage capacity.

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

Volume Status Indicators

Volumes display status indicators to show their current state:

The volume is ready to be attached to a VM

Storage Best Practices

Quick Actions

Next Steps

  1. Create your first volume - Start with a standard volume for data storage
  2. Learn volume management - Master attaching and detaching volumes
  3. Explore bootable volumes - Create reusable OS configurations

Create volumes in the same region as your VMs to avoid compatibility issues and optimize performance.
