Implement ‘InstanceId’ for LaunchConfiguration

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/implement-instanceid-for-launchconfiguration

We should support the ‘InstanceId’ for AWS::AutoScaling::LaunchConfiguration resource to be compatible with AWSCloudFormation.

Problem description

In AWSCloudFormation, user can specify ‘InstanceId’ property if he wants the launch configuration to use settings from an existing instance, see:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-as-launchconfig.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AutoScaling/latest/DeveloperGuide/create-lc-with-instanceID.html

Will be good to implement ‘InstanceId’ property to be compatible with AWSCloudFormation.

Proposed change

1. Add ‘InstanceId’ property, optional and non-updatable

2. Change ‘ImageId’ and ‘InstanceType’ properties to optional

3. Add the validation of ‘InstanceId’, ‘ImageId’ and ‘InstanceType’, if don’t specify ‘InstanceId’, the other two properties are required

4. According to the aws developer guide and implementation, allows three cases:

• Without ‘InstanceId’, should specify ‘ImageId’ and ‘InstanceType’ properties, using the old way to create the new launch configuration.

• Specify ‘InstanceId’ only, the new launch configuration has ‘ImageId’, ‘InstanceType’, ‘KeyName’, and ‘SecurityGroups’ attributes from the instance.

• Specify ‘InstanceId’ and other properties else, these properties will override the attributes from the instance.
