Instances must be launched in Autoscaling Group

Require autoscaling groups for resilient deployments in case your EC2 instances fail.

Summary

This is a best practice for reliability of deployments in AWS. EC2 instances can sometimes just disappear and ASGs ensure you always have at least 1 server running and serving your customers. Require ASGs for resilient deployments when AWS decides to kill your EC2.
