First, use the AWS Console to modify the volume to the desired size, in our example we want to go from 10GB to 25GB for the root filesystem For a Xen ext4 root volume

Note how the partition at 259:1 is only 20GB, while the entire disk at 259:0 is 40GB. A partition resize is required in this case.

If the XFS tools are not already installed , you can install them as follows :
sudo yum install xfsprogs
For an EXT4 filesystem, use the resize2fs command instead:
sudo resize2fs / dev / nvme0n1p1

PROCEDURE FOR NON-ROOT FILESYSTEMS: Run the df command and record the device path for the mount point you wish to grow. Unmount the filesystem to insure consistency. Detach the volume from the instance. Create a snapshot of the unmounted filesystem. Create a volume from the snapshot, specifying a larger size in the new volume form. […]

Today AWS announced the ability to copy EBS snapshots to other regions, with the ability to copy AMIs coming soon. This is a HUGE improvement, and one that will allow IT architects to create automated DR solutions across AWS regions providing significant resilience against outages. Dear Amazon EC2 Customer, We are delighted to announce the […]
