AWS Cloud Formation Allowed Instance Types

SiCasley

Looks like the Cloud Formation templates for Enterprise 11.3 are missing some of the newer instance types, such as m6i and m7i. Is there any reason for this?

i.e. https://arcgisstore.s3.amazonaws.com/1130/templates/arcgis-server-ha.template.json

Any issue in modifying the template to include these other types?

We've run into the same circumstance (especially as time goes on w/o upgrading) and we've just created new launch template and specify a different instance type.

when I ran into this. I create the deployment using for example m5.2xlarge, then after the deployment is completed and I check that everything is working ok, I power off the machines and change the instance type.

That definitely is a convenient method if not in an autoscaling environment. You would also need to be careful about the changes to ephemeral storage drives if serving imagery using raster proxies.
