# Change an AWS Instance Type

CTERA monitors the available Amazon instance types to recommend the best instance type.

CTERA Portals and Edge Filers using a family instance type can be changed to a different family instance type.

For details, refer to AWS documentation. For example, [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-resize.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-resize.html).

To change an instance type, contact [CTERA Support](https://www.ctera.com/support/).
