      i have added some launch templates at my AWS web console. It would be nice to specify the launch template in the ec2-jenkins-plugin to start an instance from this template

          [JENKINS-61427] ec2 plugin - start instance from launch template

          Support for EC2 launch templates would greatly increase the useability of this plugin for us as well.

          The biggest issue with the current configuration is ensuring that slaves are always up-to-date with security patches. Keeping a launch template updated can be fully automated, while updating the AMI in the plugin configuration has to be done manually.

          I'd appreciate if the feature was at least considered for future updates. Thank you!

          This would be useful for enabling advanced features in instances, such as Elastic Fabric Adapter. Unless I am mistaken, there is no way to configure the plugin to do this today.
