Hi Duncan, You may also need to specify the image owner.
As I recall, jclouds does something a little surprising with image owners: if you specify an image name regex, it will only look in a small number of image owner (rather than across all 20,000+ images, which can take 60+ seconds to retrieve from AWS on some home networks).
If you specify the image owner, then it should find it, such as: imageOwner = 411009282317 Aled On 25/03/2015 13:19, Duncan Grant wrote:
I'm trying to use a specific AMI on AWS using it's name. It works if I set the imageNameRegex = region/image_name but fails if I try any of the follwoing: imageNameRegex = image_name imageNameRegex = .*/image_name imageNameRegex = .*image_name imageNameRegex = /.*image_name/ The aim here is that I can copy an AMI across a number of regions and have brooklyn pick up the correct one without my having to specify a specific image id for that region. Looking at the brooklyn tests then I shouldn't even need a regex - as long as the name is a substring of the full name it should work. I'm setting this in the brooklyn.properties not the yaml all though I can't imagine that makes any difference. thanks Duncan
