Create Local Storage service

Create Using Import YAML​

zerops-import.yaml
services:
- # Local Storage service
hostname: vol
type: local-storage:single@1

Import the file with the zCLI:

zcli project service-import zerops-import.yaml

Local Storage runs in a single container mode only — there is currently no highly available mode. Read the availability trade-offs before you store critical data on it; automated backups are enabled by default and strongly recommended.

To mount the volume into a runtime service, add the volume field to the runtime service's zerops.yaml. See Mount to a service.

Create Using Zerops GUI​

Go to your project dashboard and choose Add new service in the left menu in the Services block, then add a new Local Storage service.

Set a Hostname​

Enter a unique service identifier like "vol", "data" etc. Runtime services reference the volume by this hostname in their zerops.yaml.

  • Maximum 25 characters
  • Must contain only lowercase ASCII letters (a-z) or numbers (0-9)
  • Must be unique within the project
Note

The hostname is fixed after the service is created. It can't be changed later.

Set Auto Scaling Configuration​

Configure vertical auto scaling parameters to control resource allocation and costs. The maximum disk size is the capacity of the volume: the volume can grow up to the configured disk maximum, and what you actually store is billed as the service's disk usage.
