Hi,
I am starting to use starcluster to set up our cluster on AWS but I am
encountering a problem.
According to the config file, instance types must be one of the following:

# instance type for all cluster nodes
# (options: m3.large, c3.8xlarge, i2.8xlarge, t2.micro, hs1.8xlarge,
c1.xlarge, r3.4xlarge, g2.2xlarge, m1.small, c1.medium, m3.2xlarge,
c3.2xlarge, m2.xlarge, m2.2xlarge, t2.small, r3.2xlarge, t1.micro,
cr1.8xlarge, r3.8xlarge, cc1.4xlarge, m1.medium, r3.large, c3.xlarge,
i2.xlarge, m3.medium, cc2.8xlarge, m1.large, cg1.4xlarge, i2.2xlarge,
c3.large, i2.4xlarge, c3.4xlarge, r3.xlarge, t2.medium, hi1.4xlarge,
m2.4xlarge, m1.xlarge, m3.xlarge)

However I can see most of them are AWS previous generation types (not that
good and also more expensive).
Is this an updated list? Is there a reason for this and/or a way to
overcome this limitation?

I am on us-east-1 region although I don't know if this depends on regions.

thanks alot
Laura
