Can I Attach Multiple Vultr Cloud Compute Instances to the Same Vultr File System?

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Yes, multiple Vultr Cloud Compute instances can be attached to a single Vultr File System volume when located in the same region.


Yes. You can attach multiple Vultr Cloud Compute instances to a single Vultr File System volume, provided that both the instances and the file system volume reside in the same Vultr location.

This capability enables concurrent access to the same storage volume, allowing your workloads to share data in real time without duplicating storage or implementing manual synchronization. Vultr File System ensures strong consistency and supports simultaneous read and write operations, making it suitable for distributed applications and multi-instance deployments. This functionality is typically applied in environments such as:

  • Load-balanced web servers that need access to shared static assets or session data.
  • Development and testing environments where multiple instances share code, dependencies, or build artifacts.
  • Data pipelines or analytics jobs that rely on shared access to large datasets across multiple worker nodes.
