CPU Instances
Since April 30th 2025, it has become impossible to CREATE new block volumes using the Instance API (or through associated developer tools). Customers can only list, mount, unmount or delete volumes through the Instance API. Block volume creation and management must go through the Block Storage API. Learn more about the advantages of migrating from the Instance API to the Block Storage API for managing block volumes and snapshots.

We have reorganized the Scaleway console to make Instance storage management more intuitive. Volumes and snapshots now have dedicated sections under Block Storage and Local Storage in the side menu.
For more details, check out our documentation for Block Storage and Local Storage.

with-sshwhen launching your Instance. Read the full documentation for more details
