Instance stop working

Question

Hello,

I am running a simple service on t2.micro instance but sometimes the instance simply stop responding after few days of working and I can no longer connect to it even if it is till running. What should I do to avoid this interruption?

Accepted Answer

Hello.

Is your EC2 instance's CPU usage or memory usage high?  
If these values ​​are high, there is a possibility that the instance specifications are insufficient.  
Also check the CloudWatch metrics to see how much CPU credits are being consumed.

Many thanks. This was the problem and the cpu utilization was up to 99%. Will need to upgrade the instance.
