If you specify a launch template that does not contain a custom AMI, then Amazon will use the [EKS-optimized AMI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/eks-optimized-ami.html) for the Kubernetes version and selected region. You can also select a [GPU enabled instance](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/eks-optimized-ami.html#gpu-ami) for workloads that would benefit from it.

#### Spot instances
Spot instances are now [supported by EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/managed-node-groups.html#managed-node-group-capacity-types-spot). If a launch template is specified, Amazon recommends that the template not provide an instance type. Instead, Amazon recommends providing multiple instance types. If the "Request Spot Instances" checkbox is enabled for a node group, then you will have the opportunity to provide multiple instance types.
>**Note**
>Any selection you made in the instance type dropdown will be ignored in this situation and you must specify at least one instance type to the "Spot Instance Types" section. Furthermore, a launch template used with EKS cannot request spot instances. Requesting spot instances must be part of the EKS configuration.
