+##### volumes (optional)
+
+You can create a temporary volume, a semipermanent volume, a permanent volume and you can do all of those from a snapshot, too.
+You can even attach a volume that already exists. 
+In that case, however, you should attach it to only one instance as most volumes can only be attached to one instance at a time. 
+
+- **Temporary** volumes are deleted once their server is destroyed. By not setting a `name` and not setting `semiPermanent`, you create a temporary volume.
+- **Semi-permanent** volumes are deleted once their cluster is destroyed. By setting `semiPermanent: True`, you create a semi-permanent volume. This explicitly means that volumes are not destroyed while scheduling on-demand allowing workers to have the same volume no matter how often they restarted.
+- **Permanent** volumes are deleted once you delete them manually. By setting a `name` and not setting `semiPermanent`, you create a permanent volume. This can be useful if you want to investigate its content after destroying the cluster.
+- **Existing** volumes can be attached by setting the exact name of that volume as `name`. If you use this to attach the volume to a worker, make sure that the worker group's count is 1. Otherwise, BiBiGrid will try to attach that volume to each instance.
+
+Termination of these volumes is done by regex looking for the cluster id. For cluster termination: `^bibigrid-(master-{cluster_id}|(worker|vpngtw)-{cluster_id}-(\d+))-(\d+|semiperm.*)$`
