Today we are going to go through the steps to increase the default allocated EBS Volume.
EBS Volume is the storage option available to store your instance OS and files permantly in AWS. Each instance can be associated with one or more EBS volumes. Please note , EBS upto 30 GB is free of cost in AWS free tier account.

It has two steps.
