Nous sommes heureux d'annoncer que Block Storage est désormais disponible en us-east/Newark et us-central/Dallas! Nous aurons des disponibilités en eu-central/Francfort en quelques semaines. eu-west/Londres, ap-south/Singapouret ap-northeast/Tokyo2 restent dans les temps pour le deuxième trimestre 2018.
Comme nous l'avons indiqué dans notre précédent article, les Volumes Block Storage apparaissent aux Linodes comme des périphériques de bloc et peuvent être formatés et montés comme n'importe quel périphérique de bloc. Il existe de nombreux cas d'utilisation et nous sommes impatients de voir comment vous exploitez ce service.
Pour commencer à utiliser Block Storage dès aujourd'hui, n'hésitez pas à consulter la page du produitBlock Storage ainsi que le guide de démarrage. Restez à l'écoute pour des mises à jour sur les déploiements restants.

I’ve been eagerly anticipating this! Glad to see it’s finally up and running, I’ll definitely be taking advantage of the service! Thanks a lot, Linode, you’re superb as always!
Still waiting for AP-South Singapore…
What’s your plans regarding the speed difference with DigitalOceans similar offering, that’s almost 10x as fast as Linode Block Storage?

We plan on deploying this to the remaining DCs, and then future generations of our block storage will be iterated on and improved, as expected. Thanks.
True story – I was just logging in to see if you added block storage yet… perfect timing! Will be using it asap
Still waiting for Singapore. I’ve been think of moving to DigitalOcean but I guess I will just wait.
Apart from being able to hotplug these, what are the differences between these and regular disk images?
Sophira – thanks for the question. These appear just like normal disk images, but offer a very right sized approach – provision and pay for the exact capacity that you need per GiB. You can dynamically resize up as well over time. There’s 3x replication for your data on our Block Storage offering too. Please feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions.
Ronnel – we’re making great progress on Singapore and should will have this available before the end of Q2 2018. We will have more to share on the progress there within 4-5 weeks.
