Team assignments and permissions:
  • Team members can view and use volumes assigned to their teams.
  • Team members can update and delete volumes if they belong to at least one assigned team.
  • When updating team assignments, non-admin users can only add or remove teams they belong to.
  • Volumes without team assignments can only be managed by organization admins.
Check the pricing summary before creating the volume.

Cluster storage is bound to a single cluster. Only workspaces on the same cluster can mount these volumes.
Cluster storage pricing: Billed at $0.20/GiB/month for the entire provisioned capacity. Example: 100 GiB costs approximately $20/month. See Storage pricing for the latest rates.
If no cluster storage is available, contact your Organization Admin to set up cluster storage for your team.

Key differences:
  • Object storage: S3-backed, accessible from any cluster. Best for cross-cluster data sharing.
  • Cluster storage: CephFS/NVMe, bound to one cluster. Best for fast, persistent storage within a cluster.
