EC2 Launch Template + Auto Scaling Group

EC2 launch template and Auto Scaling group with IMDSv2 enforced, encrypted gp3 root volume, an egress-only security group, and scale-to-zero defaults so it applies cleanly with no compute cost.

Provider drift

Every provider this module requires is one it already accepts at the newest release the registry offers. Nothing is pinned behind a major.

Provider	This module allows	Newest it accepts	Newest released

Measured 2026-09-01 against the Terraform registry. The whole catalogue is on provider freshness.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

The same job on other clouds

Virtual Machines on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.
