Provides a DigitalOcean Block Storage volume which can be attached to a Droplet in order to provide expanded storage.

Example Usage 

resource "digitalocean_volume" "foobar" {
  region                  = "nyc1"
  name                    = "baz"
  size                    = 100
  initial_filesystem_type = "ext4"
  description             = "an example volume"
}

resource "digitalocean_droplet" "foobar" {
  name   = "baz"
  size   = "s-1vcpu-1gb"
  image  = "ubuntu-18-04-x64"
  region = "nyc1"
}

resource "digitalocean_volume_attachment" "foobar" {
  droplet_id = digitalocean_droplet.foobar.id
  volume_id  = digitalocean_volume.foobar.id
}
