The size, in GB, of the disk to attach. If the size is not
specified, a default is chosen to ensure reasonable I/O performance.
If the disk type is specified as local-ssd, multiple local drives are
automatically combined to provide the requested size. Note, however, that
each physical SSD is 375GB in size, and no more than 8 drives can be
attached to a single instance.
