Block volumes.
High-IOPS network block storage that attaches to any instance, with snapshots and encryption.
Network-attached block storage that behaves like a local disk — provision the IOPS and throughput you need, snapshot it, and move it between instances without copying data.

Three steps to running.
Choose capacity and provision IOPS/throughput independently for your workload.
Mount to any instance; it behaves like a fast local disk, encrypted.
Crash-consistent snapshots to object storage; reattach elsewhere without copying.
Block volumes, in full.
Provision IOPS and throughput independently of capacity for demanding databases.
Crash-consistent snapshots to object storage, restorable in seconds.
At-rest encryption with managed or customer-managed keys by default.
Grow a volume online without downtime or a migration.
Provision it in a few lines.
Every service is reachable from the same SDK, CLI and infrastructure-as-code — one identity, one bill, one audit trail across the whole catalog.
import { aether } from "@aether/sdk";
const store = aether.storage.block_volumes("training-data");
await store.put("run-42/weights.safetensors", file);
const url = await store.presign("run-42/weights.safetensors", { ttl: "1h" });At a glance.

Database and stateful workloads
Boot and data disks
Fast scratch for training
On one model, not stitched together.
The usual stack runs block volumes in one product, the model in another and the data in a third — and the seams between them are the cost. Aether Cloud runs it on the same platform that serves the model, governs your identity and deploys into your boundary, with the rest of the catalog one hop away.
No stitching a vector DB to one place, a warehouse to another and a model to a third — block volumes sits next to the rest of the catalog, one identity, one bill.
The provider that runs Aether runs your block volumes — so the data and the model never leave the same governed boundary to talk to each other.
Need a capability that isn’t here yet? The model writes and deploys it into the same boundary — the catalog is a starting point, not a ceiling.
Good to know.
Network block storage with provisioned performance like EBS — snapshot-able and movable across instances.
Yes — provision IOPS and throughput independently of capacity for demanding databases.
No — grow a volume online without downtime or migration.
Your boundary, your choice.
Pairs well with.
Exabyte-scale, eleven-nines-durable object store with lifecycle tiering and presigned access.
Managed shared file systems — POSIX and high-throughput parallel options for training data.
Low-cost archival tiers for compliance and long-term retention, with fast restore when you need it.
A governed lakehouse over object storage — open table formats, cataloged and query-ready.
Run Block volumes on Aether Cloud.
