Upgrade Old Instance to M5 C5 R5 Instance

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 16:52:01 +0530

Today we will upgrade our old m4.large RHEL instance to m5.large RHEL instance.

But before doing this activity, we have to check if our instance is compatible or not. As C5,M5 instances support the next generation Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) technology. The C4,M4 instance use the Intel 82599 VF interface for enhanced networking. This is a different mechanisms than the ENA. Also, instance types that support NVMe, such as C5, C5d, M5, M5d, R5, R5d, T3, and z1d, expose EBS volumes as NVMe block devices.
