hello vladimir

Identify the Instance Type

• First, identify the EC2 instance type that matches your desired configuration. AWS offers a variety of instance types with different specifications.

• For your target configuration (1 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 40 GB SSD, and 2TB transfer), a t4g.micro instance type might be a good fit.

Step 1: Stop Your Current Instance

• Log in to the AWS Management Console.
• Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard.
• Select your current instance.
• Click on Instance State and then Stop Instance.

Step 2: Change the Instance Type

• With your instance stopped, go to the Actions dropdown menu.
• Select Instance Settings and then Change Instance Type.
• Choose the desired instance type (e.g., t4g.micro).

Start Your Instance

• After changing the instance type and modifying the storage (if necessary), go back to the EC2 Dashboard.
• Select your instance.
• Click on Instance State and then Start Instance.

Adjust Bandwidth Usage

To manage your data transfer and ensure you do not exceed the 2TB limit, monitor your network usage regularly. You can set up CloudWatch alarms to notify you when you are approaching your data transfer limit.
