Resize EBS Volume

resize-ebs.md

Run out of EBS space on an ec2 instance?

1. Make sure the instance has arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEC2FullAccess permissions.

2. Create a script called resize.sh with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash

# Specify the desired volume size in GiB as a command line argument. If not specified, default to 20 GiB.
SIZE=${1:-20}

# Get the ID of the environment host Amazon EC2 instance.
token=$(curl -X PUT "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token" -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds: 21600")
INSTANCEID=$(curl -sH "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $token" http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
REGION=$(curl -sH "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $token" http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone | sed 's/\(.*\)[a-z]/\1/')

# Get the ID of the Amazon EBS volume associated with the instance.
VOLUMEID=$(aws ec2 describe-instances \
  --instance-id $INSTANCEID \
  --query "Reservations[0].Instances[0].BlockDeviceMappings[0].Ebs.VolumeId" \
  --output text \
  --region $REGION)

# Resize the EBS volume.
aws ec2 modify-volume --volume-id $VOLUMEID --size $SIZE --region $REGION

# Wait for the resize to finish.
while [ \
  "$(aws ec2 describe-volumes-modifications \
    --region $REGION \
    --volume-id $VOLUMEID \
    --filters Name=modification-state,Values="optimizing","completed" \
    --query "length(VolumesModifications)"\
    --output text)" != "1" ]; do
sleep 1
done
