Continuous traffic to amazonAWS

So i'm using a pi for an application on a metered connection. I've noticed that with a fresh install and post apt update/apt upgrade that the raspian distro is continuously pushing 5-30kb/sec to: ec2-34-199-178-126.compute-1.amazonaws.com
What's this traffic sending and why is it running by default...? Any info on how to shut off whatever task is using it?

netstat is the basic command that can show you what has open connections. Something like 'sudo netstat -ntp' will show all open tcp sessions and the owning process (the -p flag needs root privileges otherwise you could run without the sudo). Once you know what process is responsible you can find out what it's doing.

Does it happen only if a browser is open?
