Notes
Note
- To create a new volume at least the name and size_gb options are required.
 - A volume can be created and attached to a server in the same task.
 - All operations are performed using the cloudscale.ch public API v1.
 - For details consult the full API documentation: https://www.cloudscale.ch/en/api/v1.
 - A valid API token is required for all operations. You can create as many tokens as you like using the cloudscale.ch control panel at https://control.cloudscale.ch.
