Volumes provide storage which is not destroyed when an VM is terminated. See OpenStack documentation for further details about volumes [http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/common/cli_manage_volumes.html]. | Volumes provide storage which is not destroyed when an VM is terminated (unless explicitly told to do so). On the Compute Canada clouds volumes use Ceph storage (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceph_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceph_(software)] ) which has a 3X replication factor which provides safety against hardware failure.
