I have updated our elastic-ci-stack to use bootstrap script url. However, even after the stack is updated with new BootstrapScriptUrl, logs keep saying “no bootstrap script url” found.

I was able to resolve the issue. The LaunchTemplate’s default version was the old version - that did not have the BootstrapScriptUrl configured. Hence, new instances were coming up without it. Once I changed the default for the launch config, it worked fine.
