How to vertically scale an Amazon instance?

Yes.  This is an incredible feature of AWS and cloud virtualization.  Spinup a new larger instance than the one you are currently running.  Pause that instance and detach the root ebs volume from this server and discard.  Then stop your live instance, detach its root volume.  Note the unique device ID and attach that root volume to your new server.   And the start it again.  Voila you have scaled vertically in-place!!
