I am currently uisng Amazon Ec2 micro instance to make my server ready so that i can shift to small instance when everything is ok.

Now as RAM is very less in micro instance , I am not able to install few things which i need to install.

I can update now to small instance but i was thinking that once i ahve all ready on micro instance then i will make AMI from there so that i case i need to run future microinstances for some tetsing then i can use those and close them when i don't need.

Now i want to ask that if i upgrade to small instance. then create AMI from it. Then can i make microinstance from that AMI or EBS Snapshot

Once AMI has created , from that AMI you can launch any instance type .

  • You can create an AMI from an m1.small and run it on a t1.micro as long as you were running an EBS boot instance and create an EBS boot AMI. The t1.micro instance type cannot run an instance-store AMI. – Eric Hammond Jul 08 '13 at 17:24
  • To add to Eric's comment: the newer t2.micro, t2.small, and t2.medium instances (highly recommended for this sort of temporary scenario) also support only EBS storage. – solublefish Mar 10 '15 at 01:23
