Databases - Custom disks and offers
User story
As a customer, I want to specify the storage type for my databases instance during creation so that I can pick the storage type suiting my capacity and performances needs best regardless of the database reference.
Acceptance criteria
Based on geographical availabilities :
- I can select the high-speed gen 1 volume when creating a database
- I can select the high-speed gen 2 volume when creating a database
- I cannot select the local SSD volume when creating a database anymore (MongoDB only)
- My previously created MongoDB clusters on local SSD are still operating
- Price is updated on the UI dynamically
- Information about IOPS is shown in the official documentation at least
Scope
High-speed gen 1 is available for all engines on all regions. High-speed gen 2 is available for all engines on all European regions by the end of 2022 and everywhere in the course of 2023 (dates are subject to change). The following countries are out of scope for ordering: OVH US.

Good news ! The feature is being developed but the scope changed a little.
During the refinement of the feature we realised that letting customers select the disk type themselves was unwise as it could lead to situation where another disk type could have been selected to grant better performances.
These troublesome situations could easily be avoided by automatically choosing the most suitable disk type depending on the amount of storage of the database and the geographical availabilities of disk types (first and second generation of remote disks).
@thild42 In the meantime mongodb databases are also using remote disks, so they should also profit from gen2 disks. Is there any ETA? I expect any database to use gen2 (if available) or are there any configurations where the old generation is faster?
@notz Yes, I will update the content of this feature to reflect the situation for MongoDB.
As we speak, MongoDB services are being migrated progressively from SSD Local to gen1 remote disks. Newly ordered services are already on gen1 remote disks.
When all services will have been migrated on remote disks, by the end of next week if all goes well, we will then begin to migrate them on gen2 disks.
This is now totally release and the information of disk type was updated on every existing service.
