Boot Disks and Storage Disks

See here for background on Disks.

Creating a Boot Disk

Create a boot disk as follows:

$ evroc compute disk create mybootdisk --disk-image=ubuntu.24-04.1 --disk-storage-class=persistent
mybootdisk creation requested

Alternatively, you can use the evroc apply command to apply a definition of a boot disk from a file. See the API docs for more details

Creating a Storage Disk

You can also create additional storage Disks for use on your VM. These Disks do not require a Disk Image, but you must specify the size of the Disk:

$ evroc compute disk create mydisk --disk-storage-class="persistent" --disk-size-amount=5 --disk-size-unit=GB
mydisk creation requested

List Disks

$ evroc compute disk list

 Name         Ready   Reason   Disk Image
-------      ------- -------- ----------------
 mybootdisk   True             ubuntu.24-04.1
 mydist       True

Deleting a Disk

Once you no longer need a Disk:

$ evroc compute disk delete mybootdisk
mybootdisk deletion requested
