Tags – Transfer m4 to C5 family, Transfer m4 to m5 family, Transfer m4 to R4 family, transfer to ENA instances

Steps are as follows:
1.    Install and configure the AWS CLI or the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell on any computer you choose, preferably your local desktop or laptop. For more information, see Accessing Amazon EC2. Enhanced networking cannot be managed from the Amazon EC2 console.
2.    Configure the AWS Command Line Interface , use the aws configure command
$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
Default region name [None]: us-west-2
Default output format [None]: json

3.    Take an AMI of the Instance to have as a backup
4.    Install the driver to the instance
5.    Stop the Instance
6.    Change the Instance Type
7.    Run the Describe-Instance Command locally from the AWS CLI –
aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids instance-id --query “Reservations[].Instances[].EnaSupport"
8.    Run the Modify-Instance-Attribute Command locally from the AWS CLI –
aws ec2 modify-instance-attribute --instance-id instance-id --ena-support
9.    Run the Describe-Instance Command locally from the AWS CLI again to verify –
aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids instance-id --query "Reservations[].Instances[].EnaSupport"
10.  Start the instance and check the networking and sharing center
