You might consider building your own AMI using Packer instead of using this one. On your custom AMI, you can install Steam and Valheim so your server will start quicker (less to do in the user_data script). Pair this with an autoscaling group and you'll add a bit of redundancy in case your server terminates for any reason. I believe storing an AMI costs $0.08/gb-month, so you're looking at an extra $0.64/mo for an 8gb AMI in this case.

You should be technically able to run the server in a docker container (e.g. lloesche/valheim-server, Github page). No idea if the resources of the VM are enough for the server, but as it does not run a lot of game logic it might work.
