Multiple parameters are required to create an EC2 instance, such as the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) ID, instance type, key pair, and security group. All of this information is also used by Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to launch instances on your behalf when there is a need to scale. This information is stored in either a launch template or a launch configuration.
