I have purchased an EC2 Reserved Instance. Its a t3large in some region, lets say r1. I want to install MySQL on this instance.
Now when I create the EC2 instance (t3large in r1), I come to the Storage tab:
8GB is too small for this server, I want the instance to have 100GB storage.
Questions:
If I change the storage from default 8GB to 100GB, would the instance attribute still match my reserved instance? Or because the storage is different I will be charged the On Demand rate?
Lets assume I change the default 8GB to 100GB, is this storage persistence? I have heard that instance store is not persistence... but I am not really sure if this 100GB is within the instance store? Also if this storage is not persistence, how should I add persistence storage to my EC2?
