[SOLVED] How do I upgrade from t2.micro to t2.small at the moment of expiration?

Issue

My AWS reserved instance t2.micro is going to expire. I decided to upgrade to t2.small, and have just bought a new reserved instance t2.small, as shown below.

Now, how do I switch from t2.micro to t2.small?


Solution

As I didn't change the instance type (T2), here is what I do.

  • Purchase a new reserved instance, t2.small
  • Stop instance (t2.micro)：Instances --> Actions --> Instance State --> Stop
  • Change Instance Type：Instances --> Instance Settings --> Change Instance Type --> t2.small
  • Start instance (t2.small)：Actions --> Instance State --> Start
