FAQ
Which EC2 instance type is recommended?
A t3.small (2 vCPU / 2GB RAM) handles single-agent deployments well. For multi-agent setups, consider t3.medium or larger. Graviton-based t4g instances offer better price-performance.
Does OpenClaw work with AWS Organizations?
Yes. You can connect EC2 instances from any account within your AWS Organization. OpenClaw only needs SSH access to the instance.
Can I use reserved or spot instances?
Reserved instances work perfectly for long-running agents. Spot instances are not recommended due to potential interruptions, though they can work for non-critical agents.
