Keep it
Block volumes that outlive the machine.
Attach a volume to a machine, resize it while it is mounted, and move it to another machine without rebuilding the machine around it. Storage is regional and durable, and detaching is a normal operation rather than an incident.
Volumes
- Attach, detach & reattach
- Online resize
- Point-in-time snapshots
- Regional durability
How it helps
What you get with Volumes
Resize in place
Grow a volume without a maintenance window or a copy-and-swap dance.
Move between hosts
Detach and reattach elsewhere. A machine is a machine again, not a container for data you cannot get out of.
Snapshot-aware
Point-in-time snapshots of a volume are one action, and restoring makes a new volume rather than overwriting the live one.
Storage & databases
The rest of Storage & databases
Block volumes, S3-compatible object storage and managed databases — durable, attachable and priced without egress traps.
