[cs615asa] Spinning up an EC2 instance in another region

[Jared Bass]

Professor,

I believe that is what I am doing. For instance, in my run-instances command, I am providing it the flags --region ap-southeast-2 --image-id ami-8a89d0e9, which is listed as the AMI for ap-southeast-2.

I then receive this output "An error occurred (InvalidAMIID.NotFound) when calling the RunInstances operation: The image id '[ami-8a89d0e9]' does not exist"

Am I missing something?

AMIs are region-specific.  You'll need to use the
right (i.e., a different) AMI for the given region.
