I want to do something very simple, I want to take a snapshot of a RDS instance (OK!) , and restore it on another instance but with a different size (duh!). If I restore the snapshot It doesn't allow me to choose the capacity of the new instance. If I create a DB instance, I dont know how to "attach" the snapshot.

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/ . In the navigation pane, choose Snapshots. Choose the DB snapshot that you want to restore from. For Actions, choose Restore snapshot.
In the upper-right corner of the Amazon RDS console, choose the AWS Region in which you want to create the DB instance. In the navigation pane, choose Databases. Choose Create database. In Choose a database creation method, select Standard Create.
By default, Amazon RDS creates and saves automated backups of your DB instance securely in Amazon S3 for a user-specified retention period. In addition, you can create snapshots, which are user-initiated backups of your instance that are kept until you explicitly delete them.
To restore a DB instance from a DB snapshot Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/ . In the navigation pane, choose Snapshots. Choose the DB snapshot that you want to restore from. For Actions, choose Restore snapshot.
RDS is a bit different. If you want to reduce the size of the volume, you need to export and reimport your data. When working from a snapshot, you have to choose the same volume size.
