How-To Guide

NetActuate provides globally distributed block and object storage that deploys alongside your compute resources. This guide covers provisioning storage and connecting it to your workloads.

Provision Storage

Create block volumes or S3-compatible object storage through the portal with your choice of capacity and location.

Storage Guides

Detailed guides for connecting to and using your storage volumes from VMs and Kubernetes.

• Storage RBD (Ceph): map and mount Ceph block storage on VMs, including Kubernetes persistent volume setup
• Storage S3 / Object Store: configure s3cmd and perform common S3 operations
• Storage Client Guide: consolidated guide covering Ceph RBD, S3, and Kubernetes PVs

Note: On a Managed Kubernetes cluster, the managed Storage Add-on installs the Ceph CSI driver and a default netactuate-block StorageClass for you, so you can skip the manual driver setup and request volumes with a plain PersistentVolumeClaim. The add-on is rolling out and is not yet generally available; this documentation is published ahead of general availability.

Pricing

Block and object storage are billed at $0.25 per GB stored with no ingress charges. Custom configurations are quoted individually.
