| 3 | Best experience with the AWS MCP server; also works with the AWS CLI alone — no hard dependency on either. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Critical Warnings |
| 6 | |
| 7 | **Launch configurations are deprecated** and do not support current EC2 instance types; new accounts cannot create them. Use launch templates for every new Auto Scaling group. See [auto-scaling.md](references/auto-scaling.md). |
| 8 | |
| 9 | **ASGs ignore ELB health checks by default**: An Auto Scaling group only uses EC2 status checks unless you set `--health-check-type ELB`. Without it, instances failing the load balancer's health check stay in service forever. See [auto-scaling.md](references/auto-scaling.md). |
| 10 | |
| 11 | **IMDSv2 hop limit breaks containers**: the default `HttpPutResponseHopLimit` of 1 makes the IMDSv2 token PUT response fail to reach a containerized process (the extra hop exceeds the response TTL), so the token request times out. Set `HttpPutResponseHopLimit=2` for bridge/awsvpc container workloads. (If IMDSv2 is *required*, a subsequent tokenless GET returns `401`; if optional, it silently falls back to IMDSv1.) See [provisioning.md](references/provisioning.md). |
| 12 | |
| 13 | **T3/T3a/T4g default to unlimited mode**: Unlike T2 (standard), these burst without throttling but bill surplus CPU credits when 24h-average CPU exceeds baseline — a silent cost leak. See [instance-selection.md](references/instance-selection.md). |
| 14 | |
| 15 | **Instance store is ephemeral**: Data on instance store volumes is lost on stop, hibernate, terminate, instance-type change, and host failure — it survives only a reboot. Put anything durable on EBS/EFS/S3. See [instance-selection.md](references/instance-selection.md). |

| 37 | ## Common Workflows |
| 38 | |
| 39 | **"Stand up an autoscaling web fleet"** → Create a launch template (AMI, type, IMDSv2), then an ASG referencing it with `--health-check-type ELB` and a target-tracking policy, see [auto-scaling.md](references/auto-scaling.md). For the public entry point, secure the load balancer (TLS/ACM, WAF, security response headers) per the Security Considerations below and the load-balancer notes in [auto-scaling.md](references/auto-scaling.md) — the load-balancer build itself belongs to `aws-networking`. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | **"Roll out a new AMI to my fleet"** → New launch template version → instance refresh; pin a numeric launch-template version so rollback works, see [auto-scaling.md](references/auto-scaling.md). |
| 42 | |
