Hello Hareem,

Due to EC2 limitation, micro instances can be launched ONLY on EBS based 
instances (where root device partition is on EBS volume). So you have 2 options:

1. Use CentOS Scalr shared roles. (They are EBS based)
2. Import non-scalr EBS based AMI to scalr using this manual:

Regards,
Igor
