Blaxel Volumes provide persistent storage that persists across agent redeployments.
For full documentation on creating, deleting, resizing, and listing volumes, see the Volumes overview.

Attach a volume to an agent

You must create a volume before attaching it to an agent.
To use a volume with an agent, add a [[volumes]] entry to your blaxel.toml and pin the agent to a specific region matching the volume’s region. 
# blaxel.toml

type = "agent"
name = "my-agent"

# Required when attaching volumes — the agent must be in the same region as the volume
region = "us-pdx-1"

[[volumes]]
name = "my-volume"      # Must match the name of the created volume
mountPath = "/data"     # Directory inside the agent container
Then deploy (or redeploy) your agent: 
bl deploy
The volume will be mounted at the specified path inside your agent’s container. Any files written there will persist across redeployments.
