Computing Solutions

Have you ever faced a problem where your Amazon EC2 processor has been running out of computing power and memory?

There is a simple solution to that problem, we can just upgrade our Amazon EC2 instance to a larger compute and memory balanced solution by changing an Amazon EC2 instance to a larger instance type.

For example, initially, you are using an instance family of type t2.micro and you want to change the instance family to a larger general purpose instance of type m4.large.

1.) Open your AWS account and open the EC2 service.

2.) Click on instances and review your instance details.

3.)Select instance type according to your requirements. Each instance type includes one or more instance sizes, allowing you to scale your resources to the requirements of your target workload.

4.) Now go back on instances and select your instance and click on instance state and stop the instance. Once an instance is stopped, CPU usage and data transfer charges cease, but storage charges for any attached Amazon EBS volume continue.

5.) Click the Actions drop-down menu, choose the instance settings, and click on the change instance type.

6.)Now choose the instance type(m4.large) you want and click on apply changes.

7.) Now choose the instance, click on instance state and click on start instance.

8.) Once the instance reaches the running state. Congratulations your work is done.
