I use EC2 on Amazon Web Services. The OS of the t2.micro instance is a customized “Amazon Linux” with 1 GiB RAM and 1 vCPU. When accessing this instance via their Cloud9 IDE I find that by default already 73% of the available file space (7.8G on /dev/xvda1) is occupied, and I can only use the remaining 2.2G.
My requirements:
- I need to execute a Python script and write output data locally.
- I can do without GUI since I am working on the command line.
What components of their OS can be safely removed in order to free up some space?

Is running a different distribution an option? I run an Ubuntu Server on EC2 with less than 4.5 GB for the OS.

You could a) add an extra empty volume to an instance b) copy existing image to a bigger volume and extend the file system (this is a bit tricky but still possible) c) create your own image with software packages of your choice

@PhilipCouling That might be a workaround, but would require me to set up the instance from scratch. Can you confirm that this actually yields you more (remaining) free space?
