Day 50: Expanding EC2 Instance Storage for Development Needs
100 Days of Cloud (AWS)

Welcome to Day 50. Today is the final day of the 100 Days of Cloud (AWS) section. We will learn how to expand EC2 instance storage for development needs. In this lab, the xfusion-ec2 instance is already created and running. You just need to increase this instance’s volume size. After extending the volume size of the EC2 instance, you need to expand the size from 8 GiB to 12 GiB using the growpart and xfs_growfs commands.













sudo lsblk
sudo df -hT
sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1
sudo xfs_growfs -d /
