[cs615asa] Region issues

[Nick Smith]

Hello,
In doing some testing I came to realize that AMIs are tied to a specific 
region. So, basically we have to have an AMI id ready for every 
region... or look one up. At some point we have to start making 
assumptions about the environment, can this be one of them?

For a real example, if the user supplies a volume id that resides in 
"us-west-2" we need to have an AMI for that region so we can spin up an 
instance and mount the volume. This means we have to to test on multiple 
AMIs and may add a lot of complexity...

How have other teams handled this? I'd like to assume a certain region 
is used to avoid this headache.

Thanks,
Nick S
