On 27 February 2023, Stax will be making a change to the rule EC2 instances do not use termination protection in the EC2 Best Practice Rule Bundle which could impact the compliance score of this rule. After this date, EC2 instances managed by an auto-scaling group will be ignored by this rule as their creation and termination is managed automatically by this AWS service.

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.
