Elastic Cluster on aws

Hello team ,

I had been running Elastic cluster on traditional VM's with following architecture .
3 master Nodes
3 Client Nodes
5 Hot Data Nodes
and 3 Warm Data nodes ( Implemented Hot warm architecture from elastic blog )
( Each node has master nodes entry as unicast host lists , with 2 minimum number of masters set ,

#discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["X.X.X.X:9300", "X.X.X.X:9300", "X.X.X.X:9300"]
#discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2
#discovery.zen.ping_timeout: 30s

This was running perfectly fine from last 2 years .

Now we are trying to move this complete architecture to aws and want to use aws ec2 discovery plugin of elasticsearch .

We have provisioned 3 instances and changed the discovery settings to

discovery.zen.hosts_provider: ec2 ( aws ec2 discovery plugin )
discovery.ec2.groups: staging-elasticsearch-cluster ( security group name )
discovery.ec2.tag.environment: staging ( tag with name environment and value staging )

This too is working fine for me .

Now scenario is I have to implement the earlier architecture ( 3 master , 3 Client , 5 Hot Nodes , 3 Warn Nodes) using ec2 discovery plugin ,

So the actual thing which I am trying to understand is how each master will be discovered using ec2 plugin . because we have now different node types deployed .

Do we have to make some extra settings to implement same .

Hoping for some real scenario replies .

Regards
