Elasticsearch comes with a 1GB storage by default

> ```
> > NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
> > elasticsearch-data-elasticsearch-es-default-0 Bound pvc-4d565cd7-3894-11ea-a77b-12b06dd324bb 1Gi RWO gp2 12
> 
> ```

Is there a way to change the size without configuring my own pvc, volume and volume mount?

thanks

You can use a volume claim template: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-volume-claim-templates.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-volume-claim-templates.html)

You also have an example here: [https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/blob/master/config/samples/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yaml#L45](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/blob/master/config/samples/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yaml#L45)

Note that the name must be `elasticsearch-data`
