I am fairly new to AWS, I would like to know how can I change the instance type in EC2

To change the instance type of an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose "Instances."

3. Select the instance that you want to change the instance type for.

4. Choose Actions, Instance Settings, and then "Change Instance Type."

5. Select the new instance type that you want to use and choose "Apply."

If the instance is running, it will be stopped and then restarted with the new instance type. If the instance is stopped, it will remain stopped after the instance type is changed.
