We're excited to tell you about a new set of disk features we've been adding over the past several months.

Starting today, you can add optional disks to your clusters on all three cloud service providers (CSPs). Disks are created either by creating creating a persistent disk or inlining configuration directly into your cluster definition.

Disks support:

  • Specifying their size in GiB or GB, depending on the CSP.
  • Specifying a type, as offered by the CSP. This controls the performance characteristics of the disk.
  • Optionally, restoring from a snapshot.
  • Optionally, exporting the disk to the cluster via NFS.
