You can modify several parameters of an existing EBS volume, including volume size, volume type, and IOPS capacity. If your EBS volume is attached to a current-generation EC2 instance type, you might be able to apply these changes without stopping the instance or detaching the volume from it. For more information about modifying an EBS volume running Linux, see Modifying the size, IOPS, or type of an EBS volume on Linux. For more information about modifying an EBS volume running Windows, see Modifying the size, IOPS, or type of an EBS volume on Windows.
When you complete a resize operation on your volume, you need to extend the volume's file-system size to take advantage of the new storage capacity. For information about extending a Linux file system, see Extending a Linux file system. For information about extending a Windows file system, see Extending a Windows file system.
You can use CloudWatch Events to check the status of a modification to
an EBS volume. For information about CloudWatch Events, see the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide. You
can also track the status of a modification using
describe_volumes_modifications.
For information about tracking status changes using either method, see
Monitoring volume modifications.
With previous-generation instance types, resizing an EBS volume might require detaching and reattaching the volume or stopping and restarting the instance. For more information, see Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes (Linux) or Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes (Windows).
If you reach the maximum volume modification rate per volume limit, you will need to wait at least six hours before applying further modifications to the affected EBS volume.

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without
actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have
the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation.
Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
[required] The ID of the volume.
The target size of the volume, in GiB. The target volume size must be greater than or equal to the existing size of the volume.
The following are the supported volumes sizes for each volume type:
gp2 and gp3: 1-16,384
io1 and io2: 4-16,384
st1 and sc1: 125-16,384
standard: 1-1,024
Default: If no size is specified, the existing size is retained.
The target EBS volume type of the volume. For more information, see Amazon EBS volume types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
Default: If no type is specified, the existing type is retained.
The target IOPS rate of the volume. This parameter is valid only for
gp3, io1, and io2 volumes.
The following are the supported values for each volume type:
gp3: 3,000-16,000 IOPS
io1: 100-64,000 IOPS
io2: 100-64,000 IOPS
Default: If no IOPS value is specified, the existing value is retained.
The target throughput of the volume, in MiB/s. This parameter is valid
only for gp3 volumes. The maximum value is 1,000.
Default: If no throughput value is specified, the existing value is retained.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 125. Maximum value of 1000.
Specifies whether to enable Amazon EBS Multi-Attach. If you enable
Multi-Attach, you can attach the volume to up to 16 Nitro-based instances
in the same Availability Zone. This parameter is supported with io1
and io2 volumes only. For more information, see Amazon EBS Multi-Attach
in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
