Amazon EC2 Instance Type Upgrade

amazon ec2

I am a newbie to ec2 and have been using a micro instance for the past couple weeks. I am interested in "upgrading" to a small or large instance, is there a way I can do this using the AWS Console? If so, what happens to the EBS storage the micro image uses?

Thanks!

You can use the control panel:

  • stop your instance
  • create an AMI
  • start new machine from this AMI, this time selecting another instance type
