Hello,
The simplest way to achieve this for me, would be to add a REST call to the BIG-IP during the startup procedure of your server, so that it add itself to the pool. During shutdown it would remove itself.
Basically shift the logic on the server side, not on the BIG-IP.
The white paper you mentioned is a little different, the purpose is to burst on-premise load to AWS. So here BIG-IQ is in control and AWS respond to our instructions. In your case AWS is the one in control and needs to change the configuration on the BIG-IP.
What I have not looked at yet if there is a possibility to add REST calls during the auto-scaling process of AWS.
