        No steps required as such. Depending on your VPS provider, you might have to manually run resize2fs which is explained in the link @marcusquinn posted. For example, DigitalOcean does not require running this but AWS EC2 does when resizing EBS volumes.

          Note; only up the disk-size if it's a permanent thing as downsizing is a headache. On many VPS providers (inc Hetzner) you can up the CPUs & RAM without touching the disk if you just need temporary horsepower for something.

          Also consider if you're just upping for disk-space, it might be cheaper in the long run to do that with additional mounted storage than upping the cores & memory if you don't need them, check /#/system to see what you actually use.

            Well I'm using AWS and I need to upgrade the CPU and RAM. Is there a way of doing that in AWS without having to resize the disk?

              I am not an expert on AWS, but aren't AWS instances only CPU+RAM ? I thought the disk does not resize. This is for EC2 instances though. Are you using lightsail by any chance?
