- In-place cluster volume size increases now available for volumes exceeding 3 TiB
- Eliminates need for blue/green deployment when scaling storage capacity
- Domains above 3 TiB require one blue/green deployment initially, then none after
- Volume decreases and rapid increases still require blue/green deployment
- Dry-run option available to check deployment requirements
