Launch Template
An EC2 Launch Template is an AWS resource that stores the complete configuration needed to spin up one or more Amazon EC2 instances, including AMI ID, instance type, network settings, user-data scripts, and optional purchasing options such as Spot or On-Demand. By saving these parameters in a versioned template, teams can reproduce environments consistently, roll back to previous configurations, and simplify autoscaling and fleet operations.
