RDS instance upgrade from t2 to t3

Question

Hello,

i need to upgrade my RDS instance from T2 to T3  which I can do , when there is low activity.    Will the Instance host name remain the same as I have multiple apps and the configuration on a few are questionable at the moment.    I am needing to do this so I can purchase the Reserved instance as the reservation expired and  increased cost is outrageous by hour.

Also note that moving to the t4g family that uses AWS's own Graviton series of processors should give you a substantially better price/performance ratio than using t3 that runs on Intel's processors.

There's a detailed explanation on switching the processor architecture: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/key-considerations-in-moving-to-graviton2-for-amazon-rds-and-amazon-aurora-databases/ but if you're using MySQL or PostgreSQL, what is most significant is running the latest (or at least recent) version.

The host name will NOT change. Only if you change the instance name will it be different or you deploy into a different VPC.
