Stax has released a change to the rule EC2 instances do not use termination protection in the EC2 Best Practice Rule Bundle. EC2 instances managed by an auto-scaling group will now be ignored by this rule as their creation and termination is managed automatically by this AWS service.

From today, organizations with this rule enabled, who are using EC2 Auto Scaling groups, can expect to see a decrease in the number of resources failing this rule and an increase in the overall compliance result of the rule.
