Summary

In this chapter, you learned:

  • Instances are ephemeral by default, meaning that the virtual disks are destroyed with the instance.

  • To create an instance with additional ephemeral storage, create a flavor that specifies an ephemeral disk size greater than zero, and then launch an instance using that flavor.

  • Persistent volumes are created independently of the instance, and can be attached while the instance is running.

  • Volumes can be transferred between projects.

  • Snapshots are stored in the same location as volumes, and define the state of a volume at a point in time.
