I had a t1.micro instance (old_server) on Linux on EC2 and now I need to upgrade my server to m1.small Linux (new_server). So, here is what I did:
- Shutdown old_server and create an AMI.
- Launch the new AMI with m1.small configuration. (I kept the key and security group same as old_server)
- I tried to login by:
ssh -i my_key.pem [email protected]
But, it gives a connection timeout error. My login to old_server works fine.
So, my question is:
- What is the correct way to scale up (vertically) an EC2 instance?
- Where am I going wrong in the above mentioned step?
- When I create an AMI in step 1, is the EBS (data) also copied.
