Abstract: Cloud computing is one of the trending technologies in the 21st century. Cloud computing has adapted all the upcoming changes for their sustainability. A decade before in 2006 Amazon web services stepped in the market with Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service having a vision to rent the infrastructure for software applications. The application data has to be securely stored using elastic Block storage. Each EC2 instance resembles an independent computing machine. AWS offers these services based on a pay-per-use model. There exists a huge performance difference among on-premises instances and the EC2. The outcome of synopsis is to improve the performance of the EC2 and volume through various techniques such as Monitor Memory Consumption at the OS Level, Selecting the Right Storage and Instance Types, replace a degraded EBS Volume and Manually Kill Leaking Processes.

Keywords: Elastic compute cloud, performance EC2 detection and avoidance
