Persistent, High-Performance NVMe Block Storage
Persistent volumes for your instances, with hot attach, resizing, and snapshots for services that need to keep state.
Instant Snapshots
Point-in-time volume snapshots with no performance impact. Create backups or clone environments in a single action.
Hot attach and detach
Volumes can be attached to or removed from running instances so a service can evolve without switching tools.
Extend and clone
Extend an existing volume or clone it to speed up a new environment build.
What You Get
Best For
Extra volumes for a database, an application disk, or data that needs to survive restarts.
Technical Specifications
How It Works
Create a volume
Choose size and availability zone for the new NVMe volume.
Attach to an instance
Volumes hot-plug onto running instances. The OS detects a new raw block device immediately.
Format and mount
Format with your preferred filesystem (ext4, xfs, ntfs) and mount at the path you need.
Snapshot and manage
Create snapshots, resize online, or clone volumes to provision new instances quickly.
Common Use Cases
Database Storage
Run MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis on dedicated SSD volumes with the IOPS your production workload demands.
Application State
Store configuration, user uploads, and application data that must survive instance replacements or restarts.
Stateful services
Keep the data of an application service, batch, or long-running process across instance restarts.
