data "digitalocean_volume" "example" {
  name   = "app-data"
  region = "nyc3"
}

resource "digitalocean_droplet" "example" {
  name   = "foo"
  size   = "s-1vcpu-1gb"
  image  = "ubuntu-18-04-x64"
  region = "nyc3"
}

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