Block Storage Volumes
Quake AI concept: Volumes
- Managed via /v4/volumes on the Linode API; OpenStack uses Cinder /v3/{project_id}/volumes.
- Volumes are region-scoped and cannot move between data centers without detach + recreate; OpenStack Cinder volumes are likewise AZ-scoped but the explicit no-cross-region migration is documented at Akamai.
- Size increases only (no shrink); same restriction exists on OpenStack but Linode enforces it as a hard API rule.
- Throughput and IOPS limits are plan-implicit and not separately tunable per volume.
