I could probably just update the code to match the changes I make manually and not deploy.</P> Fri, 01 Sep 2023 18:26:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-in-the-cloud-questions/modifying-ec2-size-after-cloud-formation/m-p/1324879#M656 JVig 2023-09-01T18:26:40Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-in-the-cloud-questions/modifying-ec2-size-after-cloud-formation/m-p/1325037#M657 <P>Indeed. You just need to power off the ec2 instance, then change the ec2 instance type to scale up or down and then start the ec2 instance again.</P> Sat, 02 Sep 2023 02:54:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-in-the-cloud-questions/modifying-ec2-size-after-cloud-formation/m-p/1325037#M657 MarceloMarques 2023-09-02T02:54:07Z
