Databases & Analytics - Resize your service storage

View as Markdown

Learn how to adjust the storage space of your Cloud Database or Analytics service according to your needs.

Info

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.

Info

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 API

Requirements

 

Instructions

As an example, for PostgreSQL® services, you can perform a storage space increase or decrease using this endpoint:

PUT/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId}

Other engines using a storage space provide similar endpoints, e.g.:

PUT/cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/kafka/{clusterId}
Warning

NOTE: Use the "storage" field if available. If not, then the "disk" field will work.
