Dynamic Upscaling

Dynamic Upscaling is a feature that automatically increases your object storage capacity when needed. This ensures that your workspace always has enough space to store your files, backups, media, and other data—without requiring manual upgrades.

How it works

When Dynamic Upscaling is enabled, the system monitors your usage and upgrades your object storage plan automatically when you reach 99% of your current limit. This helps prevent issues related to running out of storage space and reduces the risk of downtime. Dynamic upscaling will always choose the next suitable plan size based on your current usage. You will be billed according to the upgraded plan after the change.

Managing Dynamic Upscaling

Control Panel

Dynamic Upscaling can be enabled or disabled through the Control Panel:

Command Line Interface

You can also manage Dynamic Upscaling using the CLI. First, ensure you have the basic commands set up as described in Basic Commands.
