This tutorial reviews different storage options available in Private Cloud Director, and the use cases for each.
PCD Storage Options At A Glance
There are currently two storage options available in Private Cloud Director: ephemeral storage & block storage. The type of storage you use for a virtual machine depends on how you create it.
Ephemeral Storage
An ephemeral disk is created for the root disk of the virtual machine.
Block storage support in Private Cloud Director enables the use of persistent block storage volumes with virtual machines. This is the most popular and recommended way to configure storage for your production virtual machines. Block storage volumes can be configured to persist even when the VMs they are attached to are deleted.
