CreateDisks

1. API Description

Domain name for API request: cbs.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to create one or more cloud disks.

• This API supports creating a cloud disk with a data disk snapshot so that the snapshot data can be copied to the purchased cloud disk.
• This API is an async API. A cloud disk ID list will be returned when a request is made successfully, but it does not mean that the creation has been completed. You can call the DescribeDisks API to query cloud disks by DiskId. If a new cloud disk can be found and its state is 'UNATTACHED' or 'ATTACHED', it means that the cloud disk has been created successfully.

A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

Note: This API supports Finance regions. If the common parameter Region is a Finance region, a domain name with the Finance region needs to be specified, for example: cbs.ap-shanghai-fsi.tencentcloudapi.com
