Learn how to adjust the storage space of your Cloud Database or Analytics service according to your needs.
This feature is only available for engines that use storage space.
How to increase or decrease storage
This option is available through the OVHcloud API and the Control Panel.
When changing the storage space of your service, the system checks that at least 20% of your total storage space will remain free after the resize operation. As a consequence, you might not be able to perform a storage space decrease if the new size you requested is too close to your current disk space usage.
How to adjust the storage space using the Control Panel
Requirements
- Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
- A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
Instructions
To adjust the storage space of your cluster, log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel and select the Public Cloud tab from the top menu. In the left-hand navigation menu, under Databases & Analytics, click Databases (or Data Streaming or Data Analysis, depending on your service) in the left navigation bar. Then select your engine.
In the General information tab, look at the Cluster overview panel. Toward the bottom, under Storage, click Edit additional storage →.
Use the slider to adjust the storage space of your cluster, then click Validate.
How to adjust the storage space using the API
Requirements
- Access to the OVHcloud API (create your credentials by consulting this guide)
- A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
Instructions
As an example, for PostgreSQL services, you can perform a storage space increase or decrease using this endpoint:
Other engines using a storage space provide similar endpoints, e.g.:
NOTE: Use the "storage" field if available. If not, then the "disk" field will work.
