/#Action=CreateLaunchTemplate

http://ec2.{region}.amazonaws.com/#Action=CreateLaunchTemplate

Creates a launch template. A launch template contains the parameters to launch an instance. When you launch an instance using <a>RunInstances</a>, you can specify a launch template instead of providing the launch parameters in the request. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-launch-templates.html">Launch an instance from a launch template</a> in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide. If you want to clone an existing launch template as the basis for creating a new launch template, you can use the Amazon EC2 console. The API, SDKs, and CLI do not support cloning a template. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-launch-templates.html#create-launch-template-from-existing-launch-template">Create a launch template from an existing launch template</a> in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
