Manage Network Volume

“Network Volume” can provide multi-instance shared storage space for GPU container instances, with the characteristics of large capacity and multi-instance sharing. Network volumes are billed on a per-second basis. Please note that if your account is in arrears and no instances are running, your Network Volume will be released 3 days later. Network Volume is provided in the pursuit of running tasks using its GPUs and is not meant to be a long-term backup solution. It is highly advisable to continually back up anything you want to save offsite locally or to a cloud provider.
