Automate growing size of root EBS volume #10

Closed sbower closed 8 years ago

sbower commented 8 years ago

Currently in order to grow the size of a root EBS volume you must AMI the instance then relaunch the instance with a larger size for the rooot volume. It would be nice to automate this process.

Initial Steps to Solve problem: 1.) Get instance ID, Get Volume ID 2.) STOP instance 3.) Snapshot volume ( get snapshot ID ) 4.) Detach Root volume ( get volumeID ) to instance 5.) Create new volume ( $size ) - based on snap-shot ( get new volumeID) ( create volume namt ) 6.) Attache new volume to instance ( mount point is "/dev/xvda" "/dev/xvda" ) 7.) start instance 8.) script to resize2fs
