When creating an NC2 cluster, what is the minimum number of additional EBS volumes for...

While NC2 bare-metal instances come with high-performance local NVMe storage, many organizations require additional capacity to support large data sets or long-term storage needs. For instance types that support Amazon EBS attachment, theminimum number of additional EBS volumesthat can be added per node is1. Adding even a single EBS volume allows the Nutanix cluster to expand its storage pool beyond the physical limitations of the bare-metal chassis. Administrators can then increase this capacity as needed, although once attached, these volumes typically cannot be removed or decreased. This flexibility is key for scaling storage-intensive applications without necessarily increasing the compute node count, thereby optimizing the overall TCO of the cloud cluster.
