Add persistent storage to your instances.
Volumes keep your data even if an instance is stopped or deleted.

What is storage?
Storage provides volumes that you can attach to instances.
You can use them to store:
- application data
- databases
- files and backups
Key concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Volume | A persistent disk attached to an instance |
| Snapshot | A point-in-time copy of data |
| Backup | A longer-term stored copy |
Common use cases

- Store databases and application files
- Create backups before changes
How it works
- Volumes can be attached and detached at any time
- Data remains available independently of the instance
