Based on Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) | Docs we can run EC2 instance We can use the Docker backend uses the Docker Engine to emulate EC2 instances. I’m using Terraform and this works fine if EC2 instance is created directly, however, if you are using Auto Scaling Group + Launch Template, you always get the mock EC2 instance.

Is there a way to force localstack to always use the docker engine to use Docker Engine for EC2 instance instead of Mock instances?

Hi @markt

The autoscaling service currently does not support Docker EC2 backend.

Feel free to create a feature request for this on our issue tracker and we will put it on our roadmap.

Thanks. I’ve opened a feature request for this on github. @viren
