Selecting a larger Amazon Web Services instance type for control plane machines

If the control plane machines in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) cluster require more resources, you can select a larger AWS instance type for the control plane machines to use.

Note	The procedure for clusters that use a control plane machine set is different from the procedure for clusters that do not use a control plane machine set. If you are uncertain about the state of the ControlPlaneMachineSet CR in your cluster, you can verify the CR status.
