Pivotal Web Services: Disk Quota limit

Products

• Services Suite

Issue/Introduction

This article outlines the current disk quota limits on Pivotal Web Services (PWS) and applies to all users of PWS.

Resolution

Applications running on PWS are granted 1GB of disk space by default, but application developers can request up to a maximum of 4GBs of disk space. It is not possible to increase the Disk Quota above the current 4GB limit, and there are no plans to increase the current 4GB limit.

Here are some additional notes:

• This refers to the disk usage of the app itself, like the files you upload, files installed by the buildpack and any data written to the filesystem by the running application.
• This disk space is ephemeral, meaning that it should not be relied upon for persistence purposes.
• The limit on disk quotas is separate from the memory limit that is defined by PWS Org quotas. PWS Org Quota increases, if required, can be requested on your PWS billing page, or by emailing [email protected]
• If you need additional storage space then you'll need to use a service to store this information. That will depend on what you are writing to the disk, but you could potentially use a database or an S3-Compatible storage API.
