✌️How to Manage storage?

Persistent Disk

GPU Container provides High-Performance Storage (HPS) remaining for the duration of a container’s life. It functions similarly to a hard disk, allowing you to store data that needs to be retained even if the container is stopped.

Key characteristics:

• Available until the container is deleted permanently.

• Prevent data loss by storing data, models, or files that need to be preserved across container restarts or reconfigurations.

Temporary Disk

Temporary disk (NVMe) is a type of storage that provides temporary storage for a container. Any data stored on the temporary disk will be lost when the container is stopped or deleted so make sure to back up important data before shutting down your container.

Storage type comparision

Data persistence	Lost on stop/ restart	Retained until container deletion
Lifecycle	Tied directly to the container’s active session	Tied to the container’s lease period
Performance	Fastest (locally attached)	Reliable, generally slower than temporary disk
Capacity	Fixed according to the selected GPU instance	Selectable at creation
Cost	FREE	Refer to ai.fptcloud.com/pricing
Best for	Temporary session data, cache	Persistent application data, models, datasets
