What to know before creating a volume from an image
To create a Block Storage volume from an image, you must have an image available in the
Image repository:
- the image must have the status Active;
- the volume must be created in the same region where the image is available;
- the volume size must be at least equal to the image size;
- you cannot create multiple volumes simultaneously from the same image.
