I created a new controller for Kubernetes, the Volume Autoscaler to save from manually scaling volumes in Kubernetes for myself (and my fellow DevOps folks). Would love feedback from the community

  Autoscaling volumes for Kubernetes (with the help of Prometheus)

  

  I wrote an Kubernetes Volume Autoscaler controller that can automatically scale volumes (disks) up as they fill up. When using this on one of the major cloud providers that can automatically hot-resize disks this helps minimize cost and prevents potential outages of your services from full disks. I personally find this especially useful with things such as Prometheus, SQL, Kafka, Redis, etc that slowly increase their disk usage over time. This has features such as...

  I believe you are talking about https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/master/cluster-autoscaler and if so that only scales up nodes. It doesn’t expand disks. This service expands volumes (which are pvcs)

  Nice, there's also another tool out there that does this as well. I'm using GitOps (Flux/Argo) and define my PVCs as code, so having Flux and your tool fight over what size my PVC should be sounds like some great chaos engineering! 😉
