The time for an EC2 to launch an intialize seems to have come down in the past 9 years (at least they are now much faster than 10 minutes. But it can still easily take a few minutes. Are there any ways to reduce the amount of time that the instance status is "Initializing"?

1Not that I'm aware of. I guess that time is moving the OS image to the VM so it can be started, but that's a guess. Initializing isn't even an official state.– TimJul 17, 2019 at 23:07

The modern *5 class machines boot faster than their previous counterparts.– Brennen SmithJul 17, 2019 at 23:31

I stumbled across a benchmark a few months ago that indicated a possible trend between the size of the root volume and the initialization time.
I'm trying to find that article again now myself so I don't have a link for you I'm sorry.
