LaunchTemplate - Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

LaunchTemplate

Use this structure to specify the launch templates and instance types (overrides) for a mixed instances policy.

When you update the launch template or overrides in the UpdateAutoScalingGroup API call, existing Amazon EC2 instances continue to run. When scaling out occurs, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches instances to match the new settings. When scaling in occurs, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling terminates instances according to the group's termination policies.
