Manage Volumes (Console)
This page describes how to manage volumes using the web console.
You can only create volumes on AWS and Google Cloud. If you need to use a volume on Azure, please contact support.
Create a volume
If you only want to try out the volume feature, create a free trial volume. A free trial volume can be created once per organization and has limits on capacity and file uploads. For details, see Volume Explained.
For production workloads, create a pay-as-you-go volume.
The following table describes each parameter used when creating a volume.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The volume name must be unique across the organization, no longer than 64 characters, start with a letter or underscore, and contain only letters, digits, hyphens, and underscores. |
Description | This parameter is optional. |
Cloud Provider & Region | The volume cloud provider and region must match the cloud provider and region of the target cluster you plan to import or migrate data into. |
View volumes
You can view the list of volumes in a project and inspect the details of a specific volume by clicking on the volume name.
Manage files or folders in a volume
You can upload, view, and delete files or folders stored in a volume.
Upload a file or folder
Uploading files or folders to a volume from the web console is currently not supported. Use the SDKs instead. See Manage Volumes (SDK).
View files and folders
You can browse the existing files and folders in a volume.
Delete a file or folder
If you no longer need a file or folder, you can delete it from the volume. Deletion may take several minutes, depending on the size of the file or folder.
Deleted files and folders cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.
Delete a volume
You can delete a volume at any time if it is no longer needed. Note that the free trial volume can only be created once per organization. Once deleted, you can no longer create any free trial volume.
Deleting a volume removes all its files and folders as well.
Deleted volumes cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.
