Whiteboard
Why even show initial options to choose between ephemeral and persistent? The "delete on terminate" option has the effect of making a default persistent (boot from volume / image) activity ephemeral in practice. - esker
[soulascedric]
You're right, we should warn the user if he checks the "delete on termination" option that the persistent disk will act as an ephemeral one. However even with this option available, I think it is useful to show the user a clear distinction between ephemeral and persistent, for example in the case he won’t check the delete on termination option, and if ephemeral and persistent have different pricing or performance.
