Kubernetes v1.33 introduces an alpha feature called mutable CSI node allocatable count for dynamically updating reported maximum volume capacity on nodes.
This feature enables Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers to adjust and report node attachment capacities at runtime, improving pod scheduling accuracy in Kubernetes.
With MutableCSINodeAllocatableCount feature gate enabled, CSI drivers can either periodically refresh the node's capacity or trigger immediate updates on volume attachment failures.
Users can experiment with this alpha feature in Kubernetes v1.33 cluster by enabling the feature gate and configuring CSI driver settings for improved pod placement reliability.
