Expanding EC2 Instance Storage for Development Needs

Tasks

• Identify Volume: Find the volume attached to the xfusion-ec2 instance.

• Expand Volume: Increase the volume size from 8 GiB to 12 GiB.

• Reflect Changes: Ensure the root (/) partition within the instance reflects the expanded size from 8 GiB to 12 GiB.

• SSH Access: Use the key pair located at /root/xfusion-keypair.pem on the aws-client host to SSH into the EC2 instance.

Steps

1. We already have Instances, xfusion-ec2.

2. 

   EC2 → Volumes → vol-044ea2f7bad002711 → Modify volume

3. 

   

   Modify vol-044ea2f7bad002711 → Modify

4. 

   Pem files stored at /root/xfusion-keypair.pem.

   

5. Verify the Partition Size on the EC2 Instance

sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1

6. Resize the Filesystem

    sudo xfs_growfs /
   

7. Verify the Resized Filesystem

    df -h
