Resize an instance via the OVHcloud Control Panel

Objective

If your instance lacks resources due to increased activity or new needs, you can increase its resources in just a few clicks with the Public Cloud.

This guide explains how to resize your instance from the 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 ... to the right of the instance, and select Edit. You can also access this action from the instance details by clicking on its name, then on Modify model.

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

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

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

• 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.
