Amazon EC2 getting started guide

By endamadden

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&gt; <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 &lt;your-s3-bucket&gt;/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

D:\Program Files\Amazon\Authentication&gt;ec2-describe-images -o self -o amazon

 Hope this might save somebody some headscratching
