I would do in emacs

  "C-x C-f /ssh:ec2-user@ec2-107-20-32-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:"

Why do you need the preceeding "sudo"? Is it mandatory for calling ssh?
In this case, we would need further configuration.

Tramp does not support the specification of identity files via the "-i"
option. Therefore, you shall add the following lines to your ~/.ssh/config:

Host ec2-107-20-32-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.comx
        IdentityFile    /path/to/mlhost.pem
