Persistent Storage That Moves With Your Workloads
Attach high-performance disk volumes to any Instance, encrypt data at rest, and migrate live between storage pools — reliable, flexible storage for your most demanding workloads.
Key Features
Persistent, high-performance volumes that work like physical disks — attach to any VM, encrypt at rest, migrate live, and scale to any size your workload demands.
High-Performance I/O
Deliver consistent low-latency read/write operations optimized for demanding workloads like databases and transactional systems. Block storage provides direct, raw access to storage volumes — eliminating filesystem overhead and maximizing IOPS throughput.
Elastic Volume Scaling
Expand storage capacity on demand without downtime or data migration. Attach additional volumes or resize existing ones as your workload grows — paying only for what you provision without over-allocating upfront.
Persistent & Durable Storage
Data persists independently from the compute instance it's attached to. Volumes survive instance restarts, terminations, and failures — ensuring your data remains intact and available regardless of what happens to the host.
Instant Snapshot & Clone
Capture point-in-time snapshots of any volume without interrupting running workloads. Restore to a previous state in seconds, clone volumes for testing or staging environments, or duplicate production data safely.
Encryption at Rest
Automatically encrypt all data written to block volumes using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Protect sensitive workloads at the storage layer — with zero performance penalty and full key management control.
Consistent Throughput
Guarantee predictable, stable IOPS and bandwidth regardless of other tenants or traffic spikes. Block storage volumes deliver the same performance under load as at idle — critical for latency-sensitive applications and SLA-bound services.
Use Cases
Block storage is the foundation of any stateful workload in the cloud. Here's how teams use it to run databases, protect application data, and manage disk resources efficiently.
Database Storage
Run MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and other databases on dedicated persistent volumes — consistent I/O performance with data that never disappears.
Persistent Application Data
Store application data on block volumes that survive Instance restarts, rebuilds, and migrations — your data stays intact no matter what happens to the instance.
Expanding Instance Storage
Attach additional volumes to any running Instance to expand capacity instantly — no redeployment, no downtime, no data migration required.
Separated OS & Data Disks
Keep your OS disk and data disk separate — rebuild or replace the OS volume freely without ever touching your application data.
Data Protection Built In
Capture point-in-time copies of any volume to protect your data before changes or for disaster recovery.
