Scaleway Volumes API is one of 74 APIs that [Scaleway](https://apis.io/providers/scaleway/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Volumes. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

A volume is where you store your data inside your Instance. It appears as a block device on Linux that you can use to create a filesystem and mount it. The Instance API only supports local (`l_ssd`) and `scratch` volume types. Block storage volumes can also be attached to Instances, these volumes are managed by the SBS API (https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/block/). Minimum and maximum volume sizes for each volume types can be queried from the zone `/products/volumes` API endpoint. _I.e_ for: - `fr-par-1` use https://api.scaleway.com/instance/v1/zones/fr-par-1/products/volumes - `nl-ams-1` use https://api.scaleway.com/instance/v1/zones/nl-ams-1/products/volumes Each type of volume is also subject to a global quota for the sum of all the volumes. This quota depends of the level of support and may be changed on demand. When using multiple block devices, it's advised to mount them by using their UUID instead of their device name. A device name is subject to change depending on the volumes order. Block devices UUIDs can be found in `/dev/disk/by-id/`.
