Re: !!! ERROR - placement group does not exist (Butson, Christopher)

It doesn't look like that was the problem; I would have expected messages about not being able to start the instance.
(And it's not possible to tell in advance whether the number and type of instances requested are available)

Check the debug log (~/.starcluster/logs/debug.log).
I suspect the requested machine never started -- cc2.8xlarge are in short supply.

This is the text from the debug log around that time. It hadn't occurred to me that this instance might not be available. Is there another way I can check availability before launching starcluster? Thanks.
