One downside I discovered by using this solution (stop the instance - make it a small - update java - stop it again - modify it back to micro) is that the new instances start with new private ips. That means that for the 5 servers I have I need to modify the nagios configs, firewalls, munin and so on. The elastic ip part is helping me a lot but not for the private pools and the communication between them.
