I forgot about the 32/64 bit thing -- you can't switch between that on a
dynamic resize unless what you're really doing is just shutting instances
on/off that access the same storage volume.
For resizing between small and large, it seems like it should be possible to
set up a 64 bit large instance and then size it down so that it could be run
most of the time as a small.
The trick is that it's a lot cheaper if you go with reserved instances, and
that' less efficient unless you spend the vast majority of your time at the
smaller size. Spot instances can be cheaper still, but you have to be
careful in how you set those up.
