This section covers how to navigate and use the volume screens and
dialogs in the Eucalyptus Management Console.
Volumes Landing Page
Eucalyptus offers persistent storage that you can attach to a running instance. These elastic 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. Use the scroll bar to view additional volumes not in the browser's current view.
