From the source SKILL.md

Cinder provides persistent block storage volumes that attach to Nova compute instances. Unlike ephemeral storage (which disappears when an instance is deleted), Cinder volumes persist independently of the instance lifecycle. They can be detached from one instance and reattached to another, snapshotted for point-in-time copies, and backed up for disaster recovery.
