I use a EC2 Micro instance on the free tier of AWS. 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.
