# Databases & Analytics - Resize your service storage

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

**Note:**

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](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/) and the [Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/).

**Note:**

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](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/)
- A [Public Cloud project](https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account

 

#### Instructions

To adjust the storage space of your cluster, log in to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/), navigate to the `Databases` (or `Data Streaming` or `Data Analysis`, depending on your service) area via the `Public Cloud` menu.

Then select your engine.

Select the `Configuration` tab, and look at the **Service** panel. Next to **Storage**, click `Edit`.

Use the `slider` to adjust the storage space of your cluster, then click `Edit`.

 

### How to adjust the storage space using the API

#### Requirements

- Access to the OVHcloud [API](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/) (create your credentials by consulting [this guide](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md))
- A [Public Cloud project](https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account

 

#### Instructions

As an example, for PostgreSQL[®](#go-further) services, you can perform a storage space increase or decrease using this endpoint:

[PUT /cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId}](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/console/?section=/cloud/project&branch=v1#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}](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/console/?section=/cloud/project&branch=v1#put-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/kafka/-clusterId-)

**Warning:**

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