Cinder Volumes and Volume Types

Volumes are block storage devices that you attach to instances to enable persistent storage.

As a cloud administrator, you can manage volumes and volume types for users in various projects. You can create and delete volume types, and you can view and delete volumes.

Cloud users can attach a volume to a running instance or detach a volume and attach it to another instance at any time. For information about cloud user operations, see Working with Volumes.
