This method covers a specific and basic example of how it can be done in AWS, though much of this would also apply in Azure, GCP, other clouds, or even for on-prem installation. Essentially, once you have storage associated with the virtual machine ("EC2 instance" in AWS parlance), the steps on the machine are the same.
