Manage Volumes
Eucalyptus offers persistent storage that you can attach to a running instance.
These Eucalyptus block storage (EBS) volumes persist autonomously from the running life of
an instance. After you attach a block volume to an instance, you can use it like any other
physical hard drive. This screen allows you to view a list of your volumes, create new
volumes, attach and detach volumes to a running instance, and delete volumes. You can page
through the list of volumes by clicking the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen.
