Open Stack

OpenStack allows you to resize running instances to a different flavor
using the "nova resize" command.

http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/admin/content/nova_cli_resize.html

However, your cloud has to be configured to support migration for this to
work properly:

http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/admin/content/configuring-migrations.html

In particular, this requires that the nova account can ssh without a
password (i.e. using public-key authentication) from one compute host to
another, so that the VM image files can be copied over from one host to
another. This is because when you do a "resize", the instance can end up
being scheduled to another compute host.
