Hi, >From what I know you can resize a machine, but this involves rebuilding the instance: openstack will create a snapshot of the machine an recreate the instance with the new snapshot and a new flavor. This is not very fast from my experience, so you will have a considerable downtime doing this, depending on the size of the current instance and how fast is your storage.
