aws image, launch template

 https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/ovdlqy/ec2_image_vs_template_vs_create_more_like_this/


  1. Create image: this will create a custom AMI from all of the software and settings of the inside of the instance. In other words, a full copy of the OS, all settings/configuration, and installed software.

  2. Create a template: this will create a Launch Template , which will define all of the settings within EC2 itself. This will use the original AMI and none of the settings/configurations or installed software.

  3. Update the created Launch Template generated in step #2 to use the AMI you generated in step #1.

Then you can go to the launch template and launch new instances that will be an exact replica of your original source instance.
