05/12/2021, 11:08 PMIs there a way to get help on how to run an Agent on AWS EC2 ? I think I've done everything properly but it still doesn't work like I expect/want.
Am I expecting the right thing ? I have an existing EC2 (t2.micro) that I want to run an agent on and the python scripts are stored in a folder on the EC2. Is there a more recommended/cheaper architecture than this ?

Hey @Chris McClellan! That seems to be the cheapest. Isn’t it just a matter of SSH-ing into the EC2 and running the agent in detached mode and leaving it on? What Python scripts are you storing there?

Are you using
local agentc
