Disks
Disks are CSI-backed persistent volumes for your clusters. Attach them to pods through PersistentVolumeClaims so databases and other stateful workloads keep data across restarts and reschedules.
In the portal, Disks is where you see organization-level volumes, their capacity and status, hourly cost, and whether a disk is connected to a cluster.
What you see in the panel
The page explains that you can view and manage disks at the service and workload level. Search by name, clear sorting, and refresh the table. Columns typically include name, region, capacity (for example GiB), type (CSI), status (Available), a connection action, hourly cost, and a row menu.
When to use it
Reach for Disks when StatefulSets, databases, or queues need durable block storage, or when a workload must keep its data even if the pod moves to another node.
Tutorial: work with disks
Open Disks
From Products in the sidebar, choose Disks.
Find a volume
Use the search box (search disks by name) or sort the table. Confirm Status is suitable (for example Available) before attaching.
Connect to a cluster
When the UI offers Connect to cluster, use it to attach the volume to the target cluster. Then reference the volume from Kubernetes through the PVC and StorageClass path your cluster exposes. You can also inspect claims inside Clusters.
Watch cost and clean up
Review the hourly cost column. Terminate disks you no longer need; unused capacity still meters on Billing.
Do not delete live data:
Avoid deleting disks that still back live PersistentVolumeClaims. Prefer sizing for growth and releasing only unused volumes.
