[LRUG] [devops] enlarge root volume on existing ec2 instance

[Viktor Trón]

slightly off topic, but encouraged by recent devops wisdom.

We need to have bigger disk on an existing ec2 instance.

One approach even reading about gives me headache
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/550790/growing-amazon-ebs-volume-sizes
the accepted answer is from 2009 and lots of controvercy.

Another approach that might work is to turn off the instance (stop not
terminate), create an AMI image from it then relaunch with a larger disk.

any guidance appreciated.
