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.
Click CREATE to build all of the virtual machines needed for the classroom lab environment. This may take several minutes to complete. Once created the environment can then be stopped and restarted to pause your experience.
If you DELETE your lab, you will remove all of the virtual machines in your classroom and lose all of your progress.
