Scheduling stateful applications reliably depends heavily on accurate information about resource availability on nodes. Kubernetes v1.33 introduces an alpha feature called mutable CSI node allocatable count, allowing Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers to dynamically update the reported maximum number of volumes that a node can handle. This capability significantly enhances the accuracy of pod scheduling decisions and reduces scheduling failures caused by outdated volume capacity information. Background Traditionally, Kubernetes CSI drivers report a static maximum volume attachment limit when initializing.
