I was wondering how you choose these images and whether I can count on
these images to always be available.
Assuming you are creating images using
ComputeService.createNodesInGroup [1], the image is chosen based on
the TemplateOptions provided. If you don't provide them, the default
set will be used, which can usually be found in the provider's
metadata, e.g. [2].
Hope this helps!
