burstable instances in standard mode


Does the following mean that cloudformation is not supported if I need to change t4g to standard mode for burstable instances?

You can launch your instances as unlimited or standard using the Amazon EC2 console, an AWS SDK, a command line tool, or with an Auto Scaling group.

Solution

  • It does not mean that CloudFormation is not supported. You are always better to check CloudFormation documentation addressing that type of questions.

    I created an EC2 Instance with unlimited mode that comes by default

    Resources:
      EC2Instance:
        Type: AWS::EC2::Instance
        Properties:
          InstanceType: 't4g.medium'
          SubnetId: 'subnet-07cc83847cb184254'
          SecurityGroupIds: ['sg-0a8d1090cfb961220']
          ImageId: 'ami-0006abfd85caddf82'
    

    then updated the Stack adding CreditSpecification:

          CreditSpecification:
            CPUCredits: 'standard' 
    

    and it updated perfectly.
