Import Volume

Importing a volume into the E2E Cloud Platform allows you to easily migrate existing data from external source to E2E cloud platform. By uploading your volume image to E2E Object Storage and providing its public URL, you can seamlessly import and attach it to a node. This guide walks you through the prerequisites and steps to successfully import a volume to the E2E Cloud Platform.
