Need stronger EBS Volumes?

Goal:

You say you might need more storage capacity cuz of data through-put issues? So just-in-case we should change the root EBS volume of our EC2 through a bastion host & auto-scaling groups.

Lessons Learned:

• Create an EBS snapshot
• Create a bigger, better EBS volume
• Attach a bigger, better EBS volume to an EC2
• Create a auto-scaling template & update the current auto-scaling group

Create an EBS snapshot:

Create a bigger, better EBS volume:

Stop the Instance!

Attach a bigger, better EBS volume to an EC2:

SSH!:

• LOOKIE LOOKIE!!

Create a auto-scaling template & update the current auto-scaling group:

TERMINATE!!

• If you can delete/terminate instances, then your fault tolerant! Scorrrrrrrrrrrrrre
