How do I change my Lightsail plan?
Last updated: 2020-12-22
I want to change my current Amazon Lightsail plan to a different plan. How do I do that?
Resolution
Your Lightsail plan is based on the Lightsail bundle that you're using.
To upgrade your Lightsail plan to a larger instance, take a snapshot and then create a larger instance from the snapshot.
To migrate to a smaller instance size:
- Back up any information stored on your instance to another AWS service.
- Launch a smaller Lightsail instance.
- Migrate the information from your old instance to your new instance.
Note: If you have a static IP address, be sure to detach it from your old instance. Then, attach it to your new instance.
