Description

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ec2demo.html

The following cloudformation script points to a non-existent ami: http://mcollective-120-demo.s3.amazonaws.com/cloudfront_demo.json

"ManagedInstance3" : {
  "Type" : "AWS::EC2::Instance",
  "Properties" : {
    "InstanceType" : "m1.small",
    "AvailabilityZone" : "eu-west-1a",
    "SecurityGroups" : [ { "Ref" : "ActiveMQSecurityGroup" } ],
"ImageId" : "ami-5916202d",
    "KeyName" : { "Ref" : "KeyName" },
"Tags" : [ { "Key" : "Name",
         "Value" : "node"
     } ],

When running it fails with the following:

AWS::EC2::Instance ActiveMQInstance mcollective-ActiveMQInstance-4N0054YP5F1O CREATE_FAILED The AMI ID ‘ami-5916202d’ does not exist

did you set your account to be in eu-west?

Hi,

That looks to be the case. So the documentation doesn’t http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ec2demo specifically mention that.

However I do notice (now) that http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ec2demo/ does mention EU-West.

So it is a documentation mismatch.

 We've created an Amazon hosted demo of mcollective that can give you a quick feel
 for how things work without all the hassle of setting up from scratch.
 
-The demo uses the new Amazon CloudFormation technology that you can access using the [Amazon Console].
-Prior to following the steps in the demo please create a SSH keypair and register it under the EC2
-tab in the console.
+The demo uses the new Amazon CloudFormation technology that you can access using the [Amazon Console]. 
+To access the AMI you must select the 'EU - West' Region. Also, prior to following the steps in the demo 
+please create a SSH keypair and register it under the EC2 tab in the console for that region. 
 
 The video below shows how to get going with the demo and runs through a few of the availbable options.
 For best experience please maximise the video.
