you can set the device to be deleted on termination with an ec2 command:
ec2-modify-instance-attribute -b "/dev/sda1=:true" 'instance_id'
and then use the starcluster ebsimage command to create a new AMI that
is permanently marked this way. (detaching any nonroot volumes before imaging)
or use the AWS dashboard/cli command to create a new AMI from the running instance.
in that operation there is an option to mark the root volume to be deleted.
If you dont want to create a new AMI then I would suggest something like
the ec2-modify-instance-attribute above placed in a userdata script that
is run at cluster start time.
