Launch Template
A launch template is a pre-baked configuration for EC2 instances.
As you know, an AMI is an image of the software on the server, but a launch template goes one step further: it also captures the "hardware" (instance type), the network configuration (subnet, security groups), and more. It's a way to say, "This is the exact configuration I want for new servers."
Assignment
PatientPing is eventually going to need a bunch of servers. Create a launch template that uses the AMI you created.
Cost check: Launch templates are free. AMIs store as EBS snapshots; you pay a small amount for snapshot storage. You only pay for instances launched from the template.
Run and submit the CLI tests.
