You can create a cloud disk and attach it to any Lighthouse instances in the same availability zone to use as a data disk. This document describes how to create a cloud disk in the Tencent Cloud Lighthouse console.
Note:
The CBS cloud disks used on Lighthouse instances are with the same performance as the ones used on CVM instances.
Considerations
Cloud disks can be attached only to the instances in the same availability zone (AZ). Cross-AZ attaching is not supported, and the AZ of cloud disks cannot be changed.
Each region has a quota of 20 cloud disks.
Directions
1. Log in to the Lighthouse console and click Cloud Disk on the left sidebar.
2. On the top of the Cloud Disk page, select a region, and click Create.
3. Configure the following parameters in the pop-up window:
