Volumes

What it is

Volumes are encrypted, redundant block devices that survive pod restarts. Attach to a pod or workspace at mount time; detach to re-attach elsewhere.

When to use it

• Database storage for a managed DB run on Atlas.
• Long-lived scratch space for a workspace.

Quickstart

asc volumes create data --size 200Gi --region apac
asc pods run --image my/db --volume data:/var/lib/postgresql

v = client.volumes.create('data', size='200Gi', region='apac')
client.pods.run(image='my/db', volumes=[{'volume': v.id, 'path': '/var/lib/postgresql'}])

const v = await client.volumes.create({ name: 'data', size: '200Gi', region: 'apac' });
