One additional consideration that's specific to Hetzner (which you may already be aware of): You can only scale down a server after scaling it up if you elected not to increase the (local) disk size. In other words, if you scale up a server with 40 GB storage to one that comes with 80, you can't actually resize your storage from 40 to 80 if you ever want to scale the server back down later. Kind of obnoxious.
Sounds like esxi storage provisioning. You can grow, but shrinking is a whole different story
Tbf, while it's possible to shrink disks, it's always a hassle and much more complex than growing one.
Yeah, exactly.
Yes. In any case I will attach an external volume,which is easier to manage and relatively cheap. Thanks for pointing it out
That sounds like a good work-around!
