Volumes are created from the Volume section of the sidebar and belong to the team you’re working in. Both admins and members can create volumes.

​
Create Object storage volume

Members can also create Object storage volumes directly. See Create Object storage volume for the member guide.
To create an Object storage volume:
  1. Click Object storage in the sidebar.
  2. Click Create new volume.

There is no size to provision — Object storage is billed by actual usage, measured daily. Current rates are shown on the storage page header; see Storage pricing for details.

​
Create Cluster storage volume

Cluster storage is provisioned per region by VESSL Cloud — you don’t create the underlying storage yourself. Pick a region when creating a volume:
  1. Click Cluster storage in the sidebar.
  2. Click Create new volume.
  3. Select a region and enter a Volume name.
  4. Click Create.

Cluster storage volumes are bound to the region they’re created in. When creating a workspace, you can only attach Cluster storage volumes from the same region as your selected GPU.
Cluster storage pricing: Billed at $0.20/GiB/month based on actual usage, measured daily (effective 2026-07-01). You no longer need to pre-provision exact capacity — billing follows what you actually store. See Storage pricing for the latest rates.
Key differences:
  • Object storage: S3-backed, accessible from any cluster. Best for cross-cluster data sharing.
  • Cluster storage: CephFS/NVMe, bound to one region’s cluster. Best for fast, persistent storage within a cluster.
