Description

Create, modify, and delete EC2 Launch Templates, which can be used to create individual instances or with Autoscaling Groups.

The M(amazon.aws.ec2_instance) and M(community.aws.autoscaling_group) modules can, instead of specifying all parameters on those tasks, be passed a Launch Template which contains settings like instance size, disk type, subnet, and more.
