Resize an instance via the OVHcloud Control Panel

Objective

As a result of increased activity, or simply new needs, your instance may not be able to meet this new burden due to a lack of resources. However, with the Public Cloud, you can increase the resources available to your instance, and this can be done with just a few clicks.

This guide will show you how to resize your instance in your OVHcloud Control Panel.

Requirements

• A Public Cloud instance in your OVHcloud account
• Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel

Instructions

Log into the OVHcloud Control Panel, go to the Public Cloud section and select the Public Cloud project concerned. Then click on Instances in the left-hand menu. Click on ... in the row of the instance concerned and select Edit.

In the new tab, scroll down to the Template section to select the model of your choice.

If your disk is equal or smaller to 50GB, you can switch to a Flexible instance if desired.

Once the selection has been made, click on Modify template to confirm your choice.

Resizing a disk in Windows

When performing a resize for a Windows Instance, please note that the partition size is not automatically updated, so you will have to extend it using the disk manager:

• Right-click on the Start menu and launch the disk manager by clicking on Disk Management:

• Right-click on the main partition, then click on Extend Volume.

• In the Extend Volume Wizard menu, click on Next to proceed. In the next tab, choose the disk resources to extend and click on Next.

Once done, click on Finish to confirm your choice.

• The new disk size will then be displayed in the disk manager.
