API. With Infra-as-code tools
API. With Infra-as-code tools
Thanks to the OpenStack public API, you can use your infrastructure management tools for your GandiCloud resources.
For example, if you use Terraform to drive your infrastructure, you can simply create a new volume type resource.
// terraform.tf: creating a 25GB volume resource "openstack_blockstorage_volume_v3" "volume_1" { name = "volume_1" size = 25 }

How many volumes can be attached to a server?
Our standard policy allows attaching up to 8 volumes per server. It is possible to go beyond this limit on request.
Do you have to stop your server to add a volume to a server?
No, it is not necessary to shut down your server to add a volume to it. On the other hand, it will probably be necessary (depending on your OS) to mount the volume for it to be fully usable. See the documentation for more details.
