Storage volume resizing

You can resize your persistent storage volumes to accommodate growing data needs. Volume resizing allows you to increase the size of your volumes without data loss.

How to resize a volume

  1. Navigate to your application's Storage tab
  2. Find the volume you want to resize
  3. Click the "Resize" button
  4. Enter the new size (must be larger than the current size)
  5. Confirm the resize operation

Important considerations

  • Increase only: You can only increase volume size, not decrease it
  • Minimum increment: The new size must be at least 1GB larger than the current size
  • Maximum size: Volumes can be resized up to 1000GB (1TB)
  • Processing time: Resizing can take up to 15 minutes to complete
  • Downtime required: The resource will be unavailable during the resize operation due to service restart

Resize status

During the resize operation, you'll see the status indicator showing:

  • Pending: Resize operation is queued
  • In progress: Resize is being processed
  • Completed: Resize finished successfully
  • Failed: Resize operation failed (contact support)

Tips for choosing storage size

  • Consider your expected data growth when creating services
  • Add some buffer space to avoid running out of storage
  • Monitor your storage usage regularly
  • Plan migrations during low-traffic periods
