Working with block-storage volumes

Updated 22 July 2026

Creating a volume

Tap Create (read/write connections only), then set:

Tap Create to finish.

Attaching and detaching

Deleting

Only an unattached volume can be deleted; detach it first. Tap Delete and confirm — this cannot be undone.

If actions are missing

Create, Attach, Detach and Delete appear only on a read/write connection where the provider supports them. Use the region bar at the top to filter volumes by region.
