Hello Pritam,

There are a few issues that I see in your setup.  Does your client not have source code management established and a CI/CD pipeline? Updating the code in EC2 instance actually defeats the autoscaling as manual intervention is needed.

You should suggest your customer to establish a CI/CD pipeline and establish triggers to push updated code to the servers automatically.

Of course there are options to sync the servers as well, but given that autoscaling will change server IPs it is not practical.

As far as I see it, the right solution is to establish CI/CD to update code.
