If I need disk space, I would attach a persistent volume... Figure you get your additional persistent volumes for free somehow, so all those Amazon AWS, HP Cloud, Rackspace, etc. users envy you. And those admins that need to buy physical disks to put into their private clouds, too. Also, more data equals more network traffic and more time - both things that matter in terms of costs, at least in public clouds. -- Sandro _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
