That command creates an entirely new instance, and runs that script at startup.

If you you want to run your script on an existing instance you should look into the EC2 Run Command service.

first of all thanks for the reply. Can you give an example command? It's very easy to me to understand.

It's not just a command, you have to setup the service first. I suggest you read the documentation docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/…
