Yes, as of 1.11, persistent volumes can be resized on certain cloud providers. To increase volume size:

1. Edit the PVC (kubectl edit pvc $your_pvc) to specify the new size. The key to edit is spec.resources.requests.storage:

2. Terminate the pod using the volume.

Once the pod using the volume is terminated, the filesystem is expanded and the size of the PV is increased. See the above link for details.
