Hi@akhtar,

You can change the size of the cluster. You can change the cluster's type, or change the number or type of nodes. The default behavior is to use the elastic resize method. The following resize-cluster example resizes the specified cluster.

$ aws redshift resize-cluster --cluster-identifier mycluster --cluster-type multi-node --node-type dc2.large --number-of-nodes 6 --classic
