Create Storage Block

Overview

Storage Blocks provide dedicated storage volumes that can be integrated with GPU resources to store your data. The created Storage Block can be mapped as an ephemeral storage for the GPU environment, and/or as a persistent storage volume to save your models/datasets that can be shared across users in the team.

Create a Storage Block by defining its name, description, and size to ensure persistent storage for your deployments.
