node_disk
Description
The node_disk parameter sets the OS disk size in GB for nodes in the default AKS node pool. This value is also used as the default disk size for additional node pools when no disk value is specified.
Default Value
The default value for node_disk is 30.
Use Cases
- Storage-Intensive Workloads: Increase the disk size to accommodate applications that require more local storage for caching, logs, or temporary files.
- Container Image Storage: Allocate additional disk space when your deployments use large container images that need to be pulled and stored on each node.
Setting Parameters
To set the node_disk parameter, use the following command:
$ convox rack params set node_disk=50 -r rackName
Updating parameters... OK
This command sets the OS disk size for nodes to 50 GB.
Changing node_disk replaces every node of the default node pool through a temporary node pool named defaulttemp. Pods on the default pool are drained and rescheduled twice, onto the temporary pool and then back onto the new nodes. Each node pool in additional_node_groups_config and additional_build_groups_config that does not set its own disk takes its disk size from node_disk, so the change rotates those pools the same way, each through its own temporary pool.
