I have few storage related question for Knative apps

  1. How do I check how much storage space do I have for a stateless knative apps. Reason being I need the Knative pod to process a huge file of 1G before removing it. it seem to get problem processing a large file. I am suspecting storage size causing the issue.

  2. How do I increase the knative app disk size if it is possible?

Not sure how kubernetes allocate disk space for a container.

Thank you.

Knative uses the underlying container filesystem to store scratch files.

For an ordinary Kubernetes installation, those will be a series of overlay directories on local disk, but it's possible that some or all of the overlay directories are mounted on tmpfs. Depending on your cluster, you may be able to raise your requests and limits to get more RAM.

On Google's Cloud Run, disk storage is backed by RAM. Requesting more memory might help here, or streaming the file over the network piece by piece. If it's always the same file, you can build it into your container image.
