Hi Vinay,

For your purpose, you may want to use the lifecycle hook (activated by the ASG service when it prepares termination) corresponding to instance termination in the ASG: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/lifecycle-hooks.html#lifecycle-hooks-availability

And then, in this hook, you send detach commands to ASG service to remove this instance from the group:  see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/detach-instance-asg.html

Best,

Didier
