Synopsis

• Create, attach/detach, update and delete volumes on the cloudscale.ch IaaS service.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
api_timeout integer	Timeout in seconds for calls to the cloudscale.ch API. This can also be passed in the CLOUDSCALE_API_TIMEOUT environment variable. Default: 45
api_token string / required	cloudscale.ch API token. This can also be passed in the CLOUDSCALE_API_TOKEN environment variable.

name string	Name of the volume. Either name or UUID must be present to change an existing volume.
servers aliases: server_uuids, server_uuid list / elements=string	UUIDs of the servers this volume is attached to. Set this to [] to detach the volume. Currently a volume can only be attached to a single server. The aliases server_uuids and server_uuid are deprecated and will be removed in version 3.0.0 of this collection.

zone string	Zone in which the volume resides (e.g. lpg1 or rma1). Cannot be changed after creating the volume. Defaults to the project default zone.

Notes

Note

• To create a new volume at least the name and size_gb options are required.

• A volume can be created and attached to a server in the same task.

• All operations are performed using the cloudscale.ch public API v1.

• For details consult the full API documentation: https://www.cloudscale.ch/en/api/v1.

• A valid API token is required for all operations. You can create as many tokens as you like using the cloudscale.ch control panel at https://control.cloudscale.ch.
