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:

allowVolumeExpansion: true
