Find an Image

To find an image:

Enter the following command:

euca-describe-images

The output displays all available images.

IMAGE	emi-EC1410C1	centos-32/centos.5-3.x86.img.manifest.xml ↵
admin	available	public 	x86_64	machine
IMAGE	eki-822C1344	kernel-i386/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server.manifest.xml ↵
admin	available	public 	x86_64	kernel
IMAGE	eri-A98C13E4  initrd-64/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic.manifest.xml ↵
admin	available	public 	x86_64	ramdisk

Look for the image ID in the second column and write it down. The image ID starts with emi- . Once you find a suitable image to use, make sure you have a keypair to use.
