If we face data limitations in our EC2 instance's volume, we can modify or resize it.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to increase the EBS volume size in AWS using a Linux instance.
First, stop EC2 instance:
You can also perform this step in running instance without stopping it, but if possible to take downtime, then I suggest stopping the instance.
Select instance>>Actions>>Insatnce State>>Stop

Here insert a new value of SSD size.
Here it will ask for your permission.
Wait for few minutes till it goes an in-use-completed(100%) state.
Whenever state changes to in-use - completed state, Login in an ec2 instance and follow the below steps.
Expand the modified partition using growpart
sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1
To extend a Linux file system for Linux ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system (like Ubuntu)
sudo resize2fs /dev/xvda1
To extend a Linux file system for the xfs file system (like CentOS)
sudo xfs_growfs -d /mnt
Using df -h command check partition is extended or not.
df -h
