AWS - Monitoring memory usage (Factorio example)
Memory statistics on AWS EC2 instances are not part of the standard dashboard. This video shows how you can get memory statistics and set up an alarm to alert about low memory.
This is a continuation of an earlier video where I showed how to set up a server for the game Factorio on AWS.
