Disks and file storage
Written by
To work with data, you can attach the following Compute Cloud resources to VMs:
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
| Disk | A virtual analog of a physical drive attached to a VM as a network block device. You can only attach one disk to a single VM. You can make a copy of the disk's file system: a disk snapshot. |
| File storage | File storage is at the Preview stage. A virtual file system attached to a VM through the Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) interface as a virtiofs device. You can attach one file storage to multiple VMs. |
You can attach multiple disks (in addition to the required boot disk) and multiple file stores to each VM.
There are some technical restrictions on reads and writes that apply to disks and file storage.
