Is there a policy on specifying machine instances?
I have a specific AMI I want to test against, and have set up the
test.properties file to be driven by a system prop
whirr.image-id=${sys:whirr.test.image-id}
then I can use -Dwhirr.test.image-id=us-west-2/ami-1234
I don't think this is ideal, really you'd want a check that had a default
value and allowed people to override it if they really wanted to.
What can be done here (this is for something I do plan to submit, the AMI
is an AMAZON-LINUX image brought up to date with patches and the right java
version pre-installed. The official AMIs lag security-wise.
