Used to retrieve a list of launch_templates in a region or create a launch_templates resource, use launch_template to operate on an individual resource.
Overview
| Name | launch_templates |
| Type | Resource |
| Description | Specifies the properties for creating a launch template.<br/> The minimum required properties for specifying a launch template are as follows:<br/> + You must specify at least one property for the launch template data.<br/> + You do not need to specify a name for the launch template. If you do not specify a name, CFN creates the name for you.<br/> <br/> A launch template can contain some or all of the configuration information to launch an instance. When you launch an instance using a launch template, instance properties that are not specified in the launch template use default values, except the ``ImageId`` property, which has no default value. If you do not specify an AMI ID for the launch template ``ImageId`` property, you must specify an AMI ID for the instance ``ImageId`` property.<br/> For more information, see [Launch an instance from a launch template](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-launch-templates.html) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*. |
