Agreed as well. I think we should replace "volume" by "storage" and add
"encrypted" in more places like you propose. I also feel that "storage"
conveys better the idea of persistence than "volume" so maybe at some
point we'll feel confident enough to drop the word "persistence"
sometimes. But I think we're not there yet.
