ASG - Terminate before Launch

0

I have a ASG with a single instance. I use a ASG for the health checks to relaunch if there is an issue. Ideally I need the instance to be terminated before the replacement is launched.

Is there a way to achieve this?

It depends what you mean with launched. If you mean being brought into service you could probably use Lifecycle Hooks to keep the instance in Pending:wait state, checking the status of the terminating instance, before bringing the instance being launched into service.

    To add on to this: By default, the termination for the healthcheck will start right before the launch, but the ASG won't wait for the termination to finish before the launch starts

Would advise you look into using the right Instance Maintenance Policy for your use case and then depending on timing, consider the use of Lifecyle Hooks. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/instance-maintenance-policy-overview-and-considerations.html
