In this blog post, we are going to discuss how to create an AWS EC2 Launch Template step by step.

How to create an AWS EC2 Launch Template step by step

Step 1: Login to your AWS console and navigate to EC2 service and click on ‘Launch Templates’ under INSTANCES

Step 2: Click ‘Create launch Template’

Step 3: Select Create a new Template and provide Launch Template name and version

If we want to create a new version of Launch Template of an existing Launch Template, we can select a source Template from the drop down

Step 4: Select AMI, instance type, Key pair, Network type and Security Groups as displayed below

Note: Launch parameters are not mandatory and are not validated during Launch Template configuration. We can skip any launch parameter and in case we do, we have to provide that configuration details during instance launch

Step 5: We can add additional volume to our instance, configure the network adapter and add a tag.

We will not configure anything in this section

Step 6: Provide additional launch configuration and click ‘Create launch template’

Step 7: We will get a success message, click ‘Close’

Our Launch Template has been successfully created

Hope you have enjoyed this article. In the next blog post, we are going to create an EC2 instance using this Launch Template.
