Every search result I can see says that EC2 doesn't do live migration. You can try to balance things but you can only do so much if you can only move a VM when it happens to reboot by itself. (And there's no evidence I can find that they even do that.)

Disclosure: I work for AWS on EC2

EC2 instances that have no local storage state can move between hosts in response to events like reboots.
