Resize Instance

caution

Draft — needs screenshots. This section hasn't been through the docs-capture pipeline yet, so there are no screenshots. Steps are grounded in the current product code (routes and page components), not a live capture — verify against the running product once this section is captured.

Resize is available from an instance's action menu (its row on the Instances index, or its detail page header) while the instance is active, stopped, or shut off. The page shows the instance's current vCPUs, memory, root disk, extra disks, and IP for reference, then walks through:

  1. Select flavor to resize to — pick a new VM flavor, or fill in custom vCPU, memory, and disk specs.
  2. Select datastore to resize to (only shown when the new flavor/specs add a disk the instance didn't already have) — choose a datastore for each new disk.
  3. Selection Overview — review the change, then Start.
