Persistent Storage preserves your data even when a container is stopped or restarted. Within a Project, a single volume can be shared across multiple containers or Replicas.
What You Can Do with Persistent Storage
Persistent Storage provides flexible data management across your deployments.
- Support Autoscaling: Attach the same volume to deployments using Autoscaling and multiple Replicas.
- Create or Reuse Volumes: Create a new volume or attach an existing one during container deployment.
- Share Across Deployments: Attach the same volume to multiple deployments. When selecting a volume, AirCloud also shows which deployments are currently using it.
- Modify While Stopped: Enable, disable, or replace an attached volume while the container is in the Pending state.
Usage
Create a New Volume
You can create and attach a new Persistent Storage volume during container deployment. Each volume supports up to 300 GB of storage.
Attach an Existing Volume
You can attach a volume that is already in use by another container, allowing multiple deployments to share the same storage.
When selecting a volume, AirCloud displays the deployments that are currently using it.
Multiple Replicas within the same deployment can share a single Persistent Storage volume. This works seamlessly with Autoscaling-enabled deployments.
Modify a Volume While Stopped
You can modify Persistent Storage settings only when the container is in the Pending (Stopped) state.
You can:
- Disable or re-enable the attached volume.
- Replace the attached volume with another one.
Changes take effect the next time the container is started.
