What is DigitalOcean volumes?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:46 pm

DigitalOcean volumes are a way to aggregate and store data in a way that is both affordable and fast. When creating a volume, you can choose between a size of 1GB or 10GB.

Once created, your volume will be accessible via the Droplet’s console and can be used to store any type of data. Data stored on a volume is accessible from any Droplet, regardless of its location.

PRO TIP: DigitalOcean volumes are a type of storage that can be used to store data on DigitalOcean servers. They are similar to regular files on a computer, but they are stored on a separate server and can be accessed by any server on the DigitalOcean network.

Volumes are not backed up by DigitalOcean, so it is important to make sure that you have a backup of your data before using them. Additionally, volumes can only be attached to one server at a time, so if you need to move data between servers, you will need to use a file transfer service like SFTP.

Conclusion

DigitalOcean volumes are a great way to cheaply and quickly store data. They are accessible from any Droplet, and can be used to store any type of data.
