Changing the EC2 instance type can only be performed while the EC2 instance is stopped. If you want to stop an EC2 instance with a job, please use it in combination with the EC2 start/stop task.
-
Depending on the combination of the EC2 instance type before and after the change, an error may occur. Before executing a schedule with a job, change the EC2 instance manually without any problems and confirm that the changed EC2 instance can be started. For more information, please refer to the following AWS document.
-
After changing the EBS optimization from a supported instance type to an unsupported type in a job, an error will occur when trying to launch EC2 from the Management Console or AWS CLI. In this case, change the instance type again in the Management Console.
