3.6.1 Creating Block Volumes
Block Volumes are network storage for use with OCI Compute Instances. By creating a Block Volume, attaching it to your instance, and mounting it, you can use it as if you were using a physical hard drive attached to your computer. If it can be mounted on one instance at a time, it can be mounted on another instance after dismounting.
