AWS::EC2::LaunchTemplate Reference

Specifies an instance family to use as the baseline reference for CPU performance.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "InstanceFamily" : String
}

YAML

  InstanceFamily: String

Properties

InstanceFamily

The instance family to use as a baseline reference.

Note

Ensure that you specify the correct value for the instance family. The instance family is everything before the period (.) in the instance type name. For example, in the instance type c6i.large, the instance family is c6i, not c6. For more information, see Amazon EC2 instance type naming conventions in Amazon EC2 Instance Types.

The following instance families are not supported for performance protection:

  • c1

  • g3 | g3s

  • hpc7g

  • m1 | m2

  • mac1 | mac2 | mac2-m1ultra | mac2-m2 | mac2-m2pro

  • p3dn | p4d | p5

  • t1

  • u-12tb1 | u-18tb1 | u-24tb1 | u-3tb1 | u-6tb1 | u-9tb1 | u7i-12tb | u7in-16tb | u7in-24tb | u7in-32tb

If you enable performance protection by specifying a supported instance family, the returned instance types will exclude the above unsupported instance families.
