Creating/Terminating Instances

We currently consider instance lifecycle goals (i.e. create/terminate) to be sufficiently addressed by the AWS CloudFormation Stack task, hopefully covering the majority of use cases (please let us know otherwise).

To configure an Amazon EC2 Instance task:

Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
Click the name of an existing Amazon EC2 Instance task, or click Add Task and then Amazon EC2 Instance Task to create a new task.

Complete the following settings:
