AWS volume space increase
Introduction
An Amazon EC2 instance launched from an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is equipped with an Amazon EBS root volume of 30 GB gp2 (General Purpose SSD) by default. You can expand the volume size of your EBS volumes, modify the volume type, and improve the performance of your EBS volumes by using Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes. You won’t need to disconnect the volume or restart the instance if your instance supports Elastic Volumes.
