Guodong, spark-ec2 does not currently support the cn-north-1 region, but you can follow [SPARK-4241](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4241) to find out when it does.
The base AMI used to generate the current Spark AMIs is very old. I'm not sure anyone knows what it is anymore. What I know is that it is an Amazon Linux AMI. Yes, the create_image.sh script is what is used to generate the current Spark AMI.
