I’ve setup wordpress on AWS. I want to reduce as much network traffic as possible. What services/jobs do I need to disable in WordPress?

Defining WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL constant (wp-config.php is good place to do this) would kill all outgoing network requests, other than those for hostnames, defined in WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS.
See source for details, doesn’t seem to be documented in Codex.
