AWS VMs behaving weirdly especially trying to open vim hangs the ssh connection

This is among the most bizarre errors and problems that I have encountered. It is possible that AWS VMs behaving weirdly especially trying to open vim hangs the ssh connection. Other symptoms include unable to run ls in a folder without any problem with disks. This problem can be solved by reducing MTU from 1500 to 1492 using:

sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492
