Amazon Redshift has improved the performance of Redshift’s classic resize feature and increased the flexibility of the cluster snapshot restore operation. Redshift classic resize is used to resize a cluster in scenarios where you need to change the instance type or transition to a configuration that cannot be supported by elastic resize. Previously, this can take the cluster offline for many hours during resize, but now the cluster can typically be available to process queries in minutes. Clusters can also be resized when restoring from a snapshot and in those cases there could be restrictions.

The Big Con
It’s odd that a thing that slumps in value from $69k to $21k should be called a currency. It might denote the price of something at any particular moment but it’s unlikely to ever denote the value of anything.
