## How to increase server disk size on AWS

The following is an example using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS).

### 1. Update Storage Class

In the Kubernetes (k8s) cluster, check the storage class: in Amazon EKS, it should be `gp2`.

Then update StorageClass to ensure:

```bash
allowVolumeExpansion: true
```

Once StorageClass is updated, it should look like this:

### 2. Update PVC

Once the storage class is updated, then we can update the PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) for the server disk size.

Now we want to double the disk size for `pinot-server-3`.

The following is an example of current disks:

The following is the output of `data-pinot-server-3`:

![PVC data-pinot-server-3](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/yyIaKpAK5xOjbnw3zWKMhi5ybamZxppPKdzwVCsowZuKEPqE8sT5MpssVpZzAdxTNw-2D5u08bsLUIYgdmkwJRzOxzex96lkNq9e_0tTyNcFzP3Z5zs0arQW0IfZtXnScL2_yqhf)

Now, let's change the PVC size to `2T` by editing the server PVC.

```bash
kubectl edit pvc data-pinot-server-3 -n pinot
```

Once updated, the specification's PVC size is updated to `2T`, but the status's PVC size is still `1T`.

### 3. Restart pod to let it reflect

Restart the `pinot-server-3` pod:

Recheck the PVC size:
