Need to migrate between instances on AWS Marketplace installation

[mbrauer]

I have a server instance from the AWS Marketplace (Hourly Spotfire) and would like to move it to a larger instance type. The instructions for exporting library content and importing to a new server do not seem to apply to this kind of installation (there is no "export" button available, for instance).
 

How do people manage moving between servers, if they do?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

You can simply change the AWS instance type that you’re currently using.  In other words there’s no need to export your library and setup a new AMI on where to import. If you shut down your AMI you can change the AWS instance type from the AWS console. Instructions can be found here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-resize.html. Not that the default recommended size is listed here at the usage cost section: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-sgndblhedc4ie

Hope this helps.

 

 Thanks,

Alain
