Create a Storage Disk

You can add a storage disk to an Instance when creating the virtual machine, or attach one after the Instance is already running.

Prerequisites​

  • Signed in to FPT Cloud Portal.
  • Wallet has sufficient balance to cover the disk cost (Storage Disk is billed hourly with a hold mechanism).

Create a Storage Disk​

  1. From the left navigation bar, select Compute Engine → Storage disks.

  2. Click the create button in the top-right corner.

    The Create storage disk page opens with an Estimated Cost panel on the right.

  3. Fill in the details:

FieldGuidance

Storage policy *Disk type (e.g., Premium-SSD). Affects speed and price.
Size (GB) *Required capacity in GB.
Applied instanceOptional — select an Instance to attach the disk immediately on creation.

  1. Review the Estimated Cost on the right — for example: Premium-SSD 20 GB = 2,398đ/hour (including 10% VAT).

    Create storage disk page with Estimated Cost
