Persistent Volumes provide durable storage that persists across restarts and redeployments. Attach a volume directly to your Magic Containers application for $0.10 per GB/month to keep your data safe, secure, and accessible as your application scales globally.
  • Auto-scaling - Volumes automatically scale up with regional pod deployments and detach when scaling down
  • Encrypted by default - All persistent data is AES encrypted
  • Flexible storage - Each volume can expand up to 100GB (standard accounts) or 30GB (trial accounts), but can only be extended, never reduced
  • Dedicated volumes - Each pod generates its own unique blank volume with no data duplication
  • Shared access - Containers within the same pod can share the same volume
  • Automatic reattachment - Detached volumes reattach automatically if your app scales up regionally
  • Unique mount paths - Mount paths are unique to the application

Regional behavior

Volumes are tied to specific regions. This means:
  • If your app runs in multiple regions (e.g., EU, US, APAC), each region gets its own independent volumes
  • A pod in one region cannot access volumes from another region
  • When scaling to a new region, new volumes are automatically provisioned in that region
  • Each pod within the same region gets its own dedicated blank volume (no data duplication between pods)

Quickstart

1

Add volume details

During container setup, add your volume details including the mount path and initial size.
2

Save settings

Select Update Container and save your settings.
Your application now has scalable persistent volumes attached to each container. Manage your volumes from the dedicated Volumes tab.

FAQ

Yes, you will still be charged while the volume exists, even if it’s detached from a container. The volume still reserves storage capacity.
The default behavior means the volume will detach when scaling down.
No, you cannot reduce the size of your volume. You can only extend it to make it larger.

Pricing

$0.10 per GB/month, charged based on the allocated (provisioned) volume size, not the actual used space.
