Increase api image size

As part of our work exploring the impact of the sftp service, we identified the need to increase the perfomance capability of the API server in order to handle the volume of API calls made by SFTP users [1]. Amazon provides a range of instance sizes. This choice increases the CPU capacity of the machine without expanding the memory capacity. This is because our initial benchmarks seemed to be pinning CPU usage but not putting a particularly large dent in memory. [1] PermanentOrg/sftp-service#268
