AWS autoscaling documentation change

Service: autoscaling · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ec2-auto-scaling-mixed-instances-groups-launch-template-overrides.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently use 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' terminology instead of 'Auto Scaling group' throughout the file

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological updates to align with official product naming conventions. There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, security patches, or security-related configurations. The example provided focuses on architectural compatibility (ARM vs x86) rather than security controls.

-For example, say that you configure an Auto Scaling group for compute-intensive applications and want to include a mix of C5, C5a, and C6g instance types. However, C6g instances feature an AWS Graviton processor based on 64-bit Arm architecture, while the C5 and C5a instances run on 64-bit Intel x86 processors. The AMIs for C5 and C5a instances both work on each of those instances, but not on C6g instances. To solve this problem, use a different launch template for C6g instances. You can still use the same launch template for C5 and C5a instances.

For example, the following command creates a new Auto Scaling group. It specifies the `c5.large`, `c5a.large`, and `c6g.large` instance types and defines a new launch template for the `c6g.large` instance type to ensure that an appropriate AMI is used to launch Arm instances. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the order of instance types to determine which instance type to use first when fulfilling On-Demand capacity.
