Amazon RDS - how to increase storage size and upgrade instance size

In the RDS Management Console, click on DB Instances in the left sidebar.

Right click on an instance and click on Modify.

You can change the DB Instance Class and increase the size here.

Keep in mine that you can only increase size but not decrease size here. If you really want to reduce the storage size, you will need to manually export and import the data.

Click Apply Immediately if you want the changes to take effect right away. Otherwise, it will be carried up in the maintenance time window.

FYI, Changing a 20GB volume to a 100GB volume took around 1 hour for me.
