tencent cloud

Overview

You can create a cloud disk and attach it to any Lighthouse instances in the same availability zone to use as a data disk. This document describes how to create a cloud disk in the Tencent Cloud Lighthouse console.

Note

The CBS cloud disks used on Lighthouse instances are with the same performance as the ones used on CVM instances.

Considerations

• Cloud disks can be attached only to the instances in the same availability zone (AZ). Cross-AZ attaching is not supported, and the AZ of cloud disks cannot be changed.
• Each region has a quota of 20 cloud disks.

Directions

1. Log in to the Lighthouse console and click Cloud Disk on the left sidebar.
2. On the top of the Cloud Disk page, select a region, and click Create.
3. Configure the following parameters in the pop-up window:

   Parameter Name	Description
   Availability zone	The availability zone where the cloud disk is located. Cross-AZ attaching is not supported, and the AZ of the cloud disk cannot be changed.
   Cloud disk type	Supports premium and SSD cloud disks. For more information, see Cloud Disk Types.
   Capacity	Cloud disk capacity. The adjustment increment is 10 GB. The specifications are as follows: Premium cloud disks: 10 - 1000 GB SSD cloud disks: 20 - 1000 GB
   Disk name	Optional. The name can contain up to 60 characters. When it's left empty, the cloud disk ID is used by default.
   Purchase quantity	It defaults to *1*. Up to 10 cloud disks can be created in a batch.
   Purchase period	Valid range: 1 month (default) - 5 years.
   Auto-renewal	When it's enabled, the cloud disk is automatically renewed on a monthly basis upon its expiration when your account has sufficient balance.

4. Click OK.
   You can view the created cloud disks on the Cloud Disk page. New cloud disks are "to be attached".
