EC2 Auto Scaling: Warm Pools Now Support Mixed Instances
🚀 Starting today, AWS lets you add warm pools to EC2 Auto Scaling groups (ASGs) that use mixed instances policies. Warm pools maintain a set of pre-initialized EC2 instances that can rapidly serve traffic, reducing scale‑out latency for workloads with lengthy initialization tasks like large disk writes or complex scripts. The capability supports manual instance type lists and attribute-based selection, and is available via the Console, SDKs, and CLI in all public AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US). Combining warm pools with instance type flexibility helps ASGs scale to their maximum size quickly while improving availability across multiple instance types.
