When planning a database deployment, one of the most challenging factors to consider is the amount of space we need to dedicate to data on disk. This is even more cumbersome when working on bare metal, as it is more difficult to add space when using this kind of solution with respect to the cloud. aws-ebs"} ,storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class=false
