Automatically Extend Root Partition<\/h4>\n\n\n\n To enable instance automatic disk extension when flavors are changed, you need to install the Cloud-init package in the OpenStack instance, before changing the flavor. One of its key functions is facilitating automatic disk resizing. Cloud-init processes user data or metadata provided during instance creation, enabling it to detect and respond to disk size changes dynamically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can install cloud-init as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ubuntu\/Debian<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt install cloud-init cloud-initramfs-growroot<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCentOS\/RHEL\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yum install cloud-init cloud-initramfs-growroot<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow, when you change your instance flavor, it should automatically resize your disk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
