what
Made spot_options in instance_market_options optional.
why
On the AWS Web console there is an option to tick a box that provides guidance on how to create a Launch Template, there works with an EC2 Auto scaling group.
Expanding the "Advanced details" ticking "Request spot instance" you will see most of the options are marked as "Don't include in launch template (recommended)"
Expiry date and Interruption behaviour are not applicable. Having all spot_options as required in this template makes it impossible to enable spot instances in an EC2 Auto Scaling group.
On a related note, but not requiring any change to the module.
The variable
instance_initiated_shutdown_behavior
should be set to null as it's also not allowed in the Launch Template when used for an EC2 Auto Scaling groupreferences
