If running a persistent machine, booting from a volume is a safer option. When creating a VM booting from an image, rather than a volume, it will store the VM on the local disk of the actual machine running the VM. If something went wrong with that machine or its disk there is a good chance your VM would be lost. Volume storage has a built in redundancy which will protect your volumes from hardware failure. | If running a persistent machine, booting from a volume is a safer option.

There are several ways to boot a VM from a volume, you can either create a volume (or use a pre-existing one) and then select to boot from it, or you can create a volume as part of the process of launching a VM. | There are several ways to boot a VM from a volume, you can either create a volume (or use a pre-existing one) and then select to boot from it, or you can create a volume as part of the process of launching a VM. | ||
