I recently wanted to track memory utilization during a long-running job on an EC2. Disclaimer: This tutorial assumes you know how to create an IAM role and provision an EC2 instance. I show you how with screenshots here.

There is an alternative if you only want to check the memory or hard disk utilization at the current time.

This tells the EC2 to run a cron job every minute, and send memory and disk information to CloudWatch.
