Quickstart

DewaVPS offers two main types of storage solutions to meet your cloud infrastructure needs: Block Storage and Object Storage. Understanding the differences between them will help you choose the right storage type for your applications.

Block Storage​

Block Storage provides raw storage volumes that you can attach to your instances as additional disks. It behaves like a physical hard drive, allowing you to format, partition, and mount it as needed.

  • Types of Block Storage:

    • HDD Block Storage: Cost-effective storage at Rp 1.000 per GB per month, suitable for less performance-sensitive data.
    • Enterprise NVMe SSD Block Storage: High-performance storage at Rp 2.500 per GB per month, using ultra-fast NVMe SSDs for demanding workloads. DewaVPS offers SSD storage exclusively in NVMe form for maximum speed and reliability.

  • Use Cases: Databases, file systems, application data, backups, and any workload requiring block-level storage.

How to Use Block Storage​

  1. Log in to your DewaVPS control panel.
  2. Navigate to the Storage section and select Block Storage.
  3. Click Create Block Storage.
  4. Choose the storage type (HDD or NVMe SSD), size, and datacenter location.
  5. Attach the created block storage volume to your desired instance.
  6. Format and mount the volume inside your instance as needed.

Object Storage​

Object Storage is a scalable, highly available storage solution designed for storing and retrieving large amounts of unstructured data such as images, videos, backups, and logs. It works similarly to Amazon S3, providing an HTTP-based API for easy access.

  • Features:

    • Highly durable and redundant storage.
    • Accessible via RESTful API.
    • Ideal for static website hosting, backups, media storage, and big data.

  • Pricing: Object Storage pricing is based on usage and data transfer. (You can add your specific pricing details here if available.)

How to Use Object Storage​

  1. Log in to your DewaVPS control panel.
  2. Navigate to the Storage section and select Object Storage.
  3. Create a new storage bucket.
  4. Upload your files or configure your applications to use the Object Storage API.
  5. Manage access permissions and lifecycle policies as needed.

By choosing the right storage type, you can optimize your DewaVPS environment for performance, cost, and scalability.
