+In production, do not use hostPath storage ([`hostpath-storage`](https://canonical.com/microk8s/docs/addon-hostpath-storage) in MicroK8s; `local-storage` in Canonical K8s):
 - `PersistentVolumeClaims` created by the host path storage provisioner are bound to the local node, so it is *impossible to move them to a different node*.
 - A `hostpath` volume can *grow beyond the capacity set in the volume claim manifest*.

 The total Kubernetes persistent volume storage needed by COS depends on the scale of each application, and on the replication count.
