This caught me out for a few minutes this morning going through the tutorial
The documentation cites ami-5bae4b32 as the image name of the getting-started image, getting-started.manifest.xml
PROMPT> <strong><code><span><strong>ec2-describe-images -o self -o amazon</strong></span></code></strong> <code><strong><em>IMAGE ami-5bae4b32 ec2-public-images/getting-started.manifest.xml amazon available public</em> </strong>IMAGE ami-68ae4b01 ec2-public-images/fedora-core4-base.manifest.xml amazon available public IMAGE ami-69ae4b00 ec2-public-images/fedora-core4-apache-mysql.manifest.xml amazon available public IMAGE ami-6dae4b04 ec2-public-images/fedora-core4-apache.manifest.xml amazon available public IMAGE ami-6fae4b06 ec2-public-images/fedora-core4-mysql.manifest.xml amazon available public IMAGE ami-61a54028 <your-s3-bucket>/image.manifest.xml 495219933132 available </code>
I tried this name and could not get my image to run, on running the command ec2-describe-images -o self -o amazon it turns out the image name is actually ami-2bb65342
