EC2 Launch Template

An EC2 Launch Template in AWS is a resource that defines configuration details for launching EC2 instances. It allows you to specify settings such as instance type, AMI, key pairs, security groups, networking, and storage. Launch Templates simplify instance provisioning by enabling versioning, reusability, and consistency across deployments.
