**To modify an Amazon DocumentDB instance**

The following ``modify-db-instance`` example modifies the Amazon DocumentDB instance ``sample-cluster2`` by changing its instance class to ``db.r4.4xlarge`` and its promotion tier to ``5``. The changes are applied immediately but can only be seen after the instances status is available. ::

    aws docdb modify-db-instance \
        --db-instance-identifier sample-cluster2 \
        --apply-immediately \
        --db-instance-class db.r4.4xlarge \
        --promotion-tier 5

Output::
