Support additional instance types for local zones c5d #16

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes, inability to deploy to c5d instance type.

Describe the solution you'd like

User needs to deploy BIG-IP to local zone and templates should support the instance types in the local zone in order to support such deployment. AWS offers local zones. Those local zones have limited AWS service and limited instance types.

Reference - https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/features/?nc=sn&loc=2

Notice Phoenix for example lists T3 and C5D instance types. Not only do the templates not support the instance type (sure, you can edit template) but the AMIs themselves by F5 vendor do not support c5d.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Testing with t3 instances, but max size supported in Phoenix is t3.medium and customer needs bigger scale.

Additional context

Cannot architect into local zone with BIG-IP using high performing instance types.

Thanks for reporting this issue and for providing a link to info on Local Zones. This enhancement is being tracked internally with ID ESECLDTPLT-3045.

The failover templates only use across-az so local zones would only be applicable to the Quickstarts. Is this what you are looking for?

yes, that works...standalone
