Geeking out – I had to create very similar AutoScaling Group and it’s Launch Template. There’s no obvious copy option, but there are workarounds:

Cloning ASGs can be done easily with aws cli:

aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-groups \ --auto-scaling-group-name [REDACTED] \ --query "AutoScalingGroups[0]" > asg_config-dev.json

Trim the output (or give it to an AI agent) and then import it:

aws autoscaling create-auto-scaling-group --cli-input-json file://asg_config-dev.json

Copy Launch Templates is quicker from the AWS Console – Create LT – Source Template and chose the template you want to duplicate.

And bam – you save 500ms without clicking like a neanderthal trough the AWS Console.
