From time to time new StarCluster AMIs may become available. These AMIs might simply contain new OS versions or could fix a bug experienced by StarCluster users. In any case it’s useful to look at the latest available StarCluster AMIs.
To look at a list of all currently available public StarCluster AMIs run the listpublic command:
$ starcluster listpublic
This will show all available AMIs in the current region. Unless you’ve specified a region in your config the default region is us-east-1. To view AMIs in other regions either specify a region in your [aws info] config or use the global -r option:
$ starcluster -r eu-west-1 listpublic
At the time of writing this document the output for us-east-1 looks like:
$ starcluster listpublic
