Create a 20GB Block Storage Volume:

exo compute block-storage create {{volume_name}} --size 20 {{[-z|--zone]}} {{zone}}

List Block Storage Volumes:

exo compute block-storage list

Attach a Block Storage Volume to a Compute instance:

exo compute block-storage attach {{volume_name|id}} {{instance_name|id}} {{[-z|--zone]}} {{zone}}

Forcefully detach a Block Storage Volume (does not require confirmation):

exo compute block-storage detach {{volume_name|id}} {{[-z|--zone]}} {{zone}} {{[-f|--force]}}

Create a snapshot of a Block Storage Volume:

exo compute block-storage snapshot create {{volume_name|id}} --name {{snapshot_name}} {{[-z|--zone]}} {{zone}}

Create a Block Storage Volume from a snapshot:

exo compute block-storage create {{volume_name}} --snapshot {{snapshot_name|id}} {{[-z|--zone]}} {{zone}}

Update an existing Block Storage Volume with a new name and a new volume size of 30GB:

exo compute block-storage update {{volume_name|id}} --size 30 --name {{new_name}}
