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 Launch an instance from a launch template in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

If you want to clone an existing launch template as the basis for creating a new launch template, you can 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 Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Note:

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to CreateLaunchTemplateAsync.

To create a launch template


var client = new AmazonEC2Client();
var response = client.CreateLaunchTemplate(new CreateLaunchTemplateRequest 
{
    LaunchTemplateData = new RequestLaunchTemplateData {
        ImageId = "ami-8c1be5f6",
        InstanceType = "t2.small",
        NetworkInterfaces = new List<LaunchTemplateInstanceNetworkInterfaceSpecificationRequest> {
            new LaunchTemplateInstanceNetworkInterfaceSpecificationRequest {
                AssociatePublicIpAddress = true,
                DeviceIndex = 0,
                Ipv6AddressCount = 1,
                SubnetId = "subnet-7b16de0c"
            }
        },
        TagSpecifications = new List<LaunchTemplateTagSpecificationRequest> {
            new LaunchTemplateTagSpecificationRequest {
                ResourceType = "instance",
                Tags = new List<Tag> {
                    new Tag {
                        Key = "Name",
                        Value = "webserver"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
    LaunchTemplateName = "my-template",
    VersionDescription = "WebVersion1"
});

LaunchTemplate launchTemplate = response.LaunchTemplate;
