A. Copy the AMI to each Region by using the aws ec2 copy-image command. Update the CloudFormation template to include mappings for the copied AMIs.
B. Create a snapshot of the running instance. Copy the snapshot to the other Regions. Create an AMI from the snapshots. Update the CloudFormation template for each Region to use the new AMI.
C. Run the existing CloudFormation template in each additional Region based on the success of the template that is used currently in us-east-1.
D. Update the CloudF ormation template to include the additional Regions in the Auto Scaling group. Update the existing stack in us-east-1.

A. Copy the AMI to each Region by using the aws ec2 copy-image command. Update the CloudFormation template to include mappings for the copied AMIs. This option involves copying the AMI from the us-east-1 Region to the additional Regions using the aws ec2 copy-image command. Once the AMI is available in each of the target Regions, the CloudFormation template can be updated to include mappings for the copied AMIs in each Region. This allows you to use the fully configured AMI in each Region without needing to recreate it from scratch or take snapshots of running instances.
