Connect powerful storage options.
A workload shouldn't be limited to a single type of disk. Cycle lets you provision and attach multiple different storage backends simultaneously to the exact same container, VM, or function.
Local Volumes
Maximize IOPS by binding directly to the physical NVMe drives attached to your nodes for absolute peak database and cache performance.
Shared Mounts
Create shared directories at the host level, making it trivial to mount a shared filesystem across multiple containers on the same server.
External Volumes
Connect to high-availability network storage protocols like iSCSI and Ceph.
NFS Targets
Provide an IP and path, and Cycle will create a host mount accessible to your containers at startup.
Baseline performance measured against direct NVMe physical attachments. Network overhead introduces standard latency to external and NFS protocols.
Attach SAN and Ceph seamlessly.
External Volumes are a native Cycle primitive designed to manage high-availability network storage protocols directly from the control plane.
Formatted File Systems
Raw Block Devices
Built for stateful data.
Take complete control over your data lifecycle with flexible, streaming-based backup commands and dynamic storage expansion.
Scheduled Backups
Cycle natively supports scheduled data backups executed entirely via streaming. You configure the exact command; Cycle streams the data from stdout for backups and pipes it back via stdin for restores.
Thin Provisioning & Expansion
Cycle supports thin provisioning for local storage, ensuring you only consume the physical disk space you actually use. Need more headroom? Expand local volume limits dynamically via the API or portal without downtime.
