Hi Shlomit:

t1.* m1.* c1.* m2.* do NOT support HVM AMIs. All the rest do. So:

-----
#!/bin/bash
INSTANCE_TYPE=${1:?Need an instance type}
echo -n "INSTANCE TYPE $INSTANCE_TYPE is "
if [[ -z $( echo $INSTANCE_TYPE | grep -e "^t1" -e "^m1" -e "^c1" -e "^m2" ) ]]; then
   echo "OK (IS an HVM instance type)"
else
    echo "NOT OK (IS NOT an HVM instance type)"
fi
exit 0
-----

Cheers,
-Hugh

Subject: Re: [StarCluster] Instance Types list


Maybe I wasn’t clear,
I want to use local script that will display to the user the supported types.
The user will choose the type, I will check the value the user enter against the list.
if everything okay a config file will be created
When the user run ‘starcluster start …’ he will not failed because the instance type checked before.
I tried with the command:
    curl --silent https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnaat/missingcloud/master/aws.json | jq -c '[.services."Elastic Compute Cloud".instance_types|to_entries|.[]|.key]’
But it give me also types that not supported by HVM.

Another thing,
I use ‘aws cli …’ in the documentation, it said that if the return code is 0 the command was successful with no error.
I run it to create volume, if failed with error
"A client error (VolumeLimitExceeded…"
But the return code is still 0. Why?

Thanks
Shlomit
