Before you begin
- A Cloud VPS and, to see an attachment, a volume already assigned at the provider.
Introduction#
A volume is a network disk separate from the main disk. It adds capacity while separating operating system and application data. VPS details show attached volumes when returned by the API.
Portal features#
Open the VPS, then Storage, to view attachments. This portal version does not execute volume creation, resizing or mounting. Have requirements approved before ordering a volume.
Data protection#
VPS snapshots and backups exclude additional volumes. Prepare a backup specifically for volume data and check mounting before use.
Pricing and limits#
The provider bills volume capacity and applies attachment and size limits. No volume quote is activated in this guide’s management workflow.
