I would like to host kong on AWS. What is the minimum configuration machine that I can use?  
Is t2.micro (1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM ) enough for 2k requests/seconds load on production?

I’d not recommend using t2.micro for any serious production traffic.

It depends a lot on your specific use case and traffic patterns.
