Creating and mounting a volume to store CloudPoint data

Before you deploy the CloudPoint or CloudPoint extension in a cloud environment:

You must create and mount a volume of at least 50 GB to store CloudPoint data. The volume must be mounted to /cloudpoint.
Ensure that UUID of the volume and the mount point (/cloudpoint) are mentioned in the /etc/fstab so that the volume is auto mounted when the host or the extension is rebooted.
Note:
If you ever boot your instance without this volume attached (for example, after moving the volume to another instance), the nofail mount option enables the instance to boot even if there are errors mounting the volume.

Vendor	Procedure
Amazon Web Services (AWS)	On the EC2 dashboard, click Volumes > Create Volumes. Follow the instructions on the screen and specify the following: Volume type: General Purpose SSD Size: 50 GB Use the following instructions to create a file system and mount the device to `/cloudpoint` on the instance host. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-using-volumes.html
Google Cloud Platform	Create the disk for the virtual machine, initialize it, and mount it to `/cloudpoint`. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/add-persistent-disk
Microsoft Azure	Create a new disk and attach it to the virtual machine. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/attach-disk-portal You should choose the managed disk option. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/attach-disk-portal#use-azure-managed-disks Initialize the disk and mount it to `/cloudpoint`. For details, see the section "Connect to the Linux VM to mount the new disk" in the following link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/add-disk
Microsoft Azure Stack Hub	Create a new disk and attach it to the virtual machine. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/user/azure-stack-manage-vm-disks/adding-new-disks You should choose the managed disk option.
