Changing DB Instance Specifications

Function

This API is used to change DB instance specifications.

• Before calling an API, you need to understand the API in Authentication.

Services will be interrupted for 5 to 10 minutes when you change DB instance specifications. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

Constraints

• The new DB instance specifications must be different from the original DB instance specifications.
• The instance specifications can be modified only for DB instances in the Available status.
• The specifications of a DB instance can be changed only to the specifications of the same DB instance type. (For example, the specifications of a single DB instance cannot be changed to those of primary/standby DB instances.)
• When you change the instance specifications of an RDS for MySQL DB instance using local disks, the storage space after the change cannot be less than that of the original DB instance.
