Either

a) Throw more resources at it. I am not sure how it is done, but cloud can scale on demand from what I know.

b) If not using already, use some static page serving plugin for Wordpress, like WP Super Cache or other. This should reduce some load.

I have chaching enable. It's apache that is dying. Does anyone know how to transform a t1.micro instance in something bigger or how to throw more resources?

What is your worker configuration for Apache? You can make it much hardier with some tweaking, or you can get even more robust by switching to nginx, or you can hit lightspeed by putting Varnish in front of it (listed in ascending order of complexity)
