Creates a launch template.
A launch template contains the parameters to launch an instance. When you launch an instance using RunInstances, you can specify a launch template instead of providing the launch parameters in the request. For more information, see Store instance launch parameters in Amazon EC2 launch templates in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
To clone an existing launch template as the basis for a new launch template, use the Amazon EC2 console. The API, SDKs, and CLI do not support cloning a template. For more information, see Create a launch template from an existing launch template in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
Request ParametersThe following parameters are for this specific action. For more information about required and optional parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Query Parameters.
Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. If a client token isn't specified, a randomly generated token is used in the request to ensure idempotency.
For more information, see Ensuring idempotency.

Examples Example 1The following example creates a launch template that specifies AMI ami-1a2b3c4d
and an instance type of t2.micro
.
https://ec2.amazonaws.com/?Action=CreateLaunchTemplate
&LaunchTemplateName=MyLaunchTemplate
&VersionDescription=FirstVersion
&LaunchTemplateData.ImageId=ami-1a2b3c4d
&LaunchTemplateData.InstanceType=t2.micro
&AUTHPARAMS

Example 2
The following example creates a launch template that specifies the subnet in which to launch the instance (subnet-7b16de0c
), assigns a public IP address and an IPv6 address to the instance, and creates a tag for the instance (Name=webserver
).
https://ec2.amazonaws.com/?Action=CreateLaunchTemplate
&LaunchTemplateName=TemplateForWebServer
&VersionDescription=WebVersion1
&LaunchTemplateData.ImageId=ami-8c1be5f6
&LaunchTemplateData.InstanceType=t2.micro
&LaunchTemplateData.NetworkInterface.1.AssociatePublicIpAddress=true
&LaunchTemplateData.NetworkInterface.1.DeviceIndex=0
&LaunchTemplateData.NetworkInterface.1.SubnetId=subnet-7b16de0c
&LaunchTemplateData.NetworkInterface.1.Ipv6AddressCount=1
&LaunchTemplateData.TagSpecification.1.ResourceType=instance
&LaunchTemplateData.TagSpecification.1.Tag.1.Key=Name
&LaunchTemplateData.TagSpecification.1.Tag.1.Value=webserver
