# My Volumes

Inferless provides NFS-like writable volumes that support simultaneous connections to various replicas. Similar to networked file-sharing systems that enable collective access to files across a network, these volumes in Inferless address multiple needs:

* Storing model parameters

* Archiving datasets similar to centralized storage

* Setting up a communal cache for collaborative tasks, akin to a shared cache over a network.

## Method A: Create a Volume using Inferless Platform

Here is how you can create a volume `Go to the Volumes` section in your console

Volumes

#### Step 1

Click on the Create Volume button

#### Step 2

After this Volume is created and ready copy the `Mount Path`

#### Step 3

Use the mount path on your app.py code as shown below :

#### Step 4

In the model import step, select the Mount Volume to attach

### View Volumes

You can also browse the files in your volume by clicking on the Volume Card

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/inferless-68/x3qz0tMEu71kbXM1/images/vol5-dir.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=x3qz0tMEu71kbXM1&q=85&s=e3c1faa50d7d75016ce2f39ab84fd177" alt="" width="2732" height="1442" data-path="images/vol5-dir.png" />

### Delete Volumes

To delete volumes make sure it's not attached to any Deployment, You can delete it form the My Volumes page

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/inferless-68/x3qz0tMEu71kbXM1/images/vol6-delete.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=x3qz0tMEu71kbXM1&q=85&s=307c71612fee66a260723d1b100c5a16" alt="" width="2724" height="1446" data-path="images/vol6-delete.png" />

## Method B: Create a volume using Inferless CLI

Use this command `inferless volume` to see all the functions available for volume.

### `inferless volume create`

This command is used to create a volume. Run this command and enter the name of your volume. Once the volume is created you can follow the process and update your volume directly to the inference configuration file(`inferenece.yaml`)

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/inferless-68/ICUjU4GLsdW9H74k/images/my-volume12.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ICUjU4GLsdW9H74k&q=85&s=c861eb0581d0362820218de91e16cb46" alt="" width="882" height="194" data-path="images/my-volume12.png" />

### `inferless volume list`

This command allows you to list all the volumes present in your workspace. It will help you to get the `ID` of the volume, which is required when you run the `inferless volume select` command.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/inferless-68/ICUjU4GLsdW9H74k/images/my-volume9.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ICUjU4GLsdW9H74k&q=85&s=51f87e18b902b093773088069c6daf72" alt="" width="858" height="384" data-path="images/my-volume9.png" />

### `inferless volume select --id`

This command allows you to use any volume that you have created using volume's `id`. Run the following command and update the `volume` directly on the inference configuration file(`inference.yaml`).

```
inferless volume select --id 4e39f657-d115-4cb7-b713-012984213750
```
