FreeBSD releases have an announcement page where all of the AWS EC2 AMI images are listed:
For instance, this page:
... indicates that this ami:
us-east-1 region: ami-03b0f822e17669866
... is available in US-EAST.
However, I cannot see any way to verify, and then use, this AMI.
I log into AWS in US-EAST and I go to "Choose AMI" and I paste "ami-03b0f822e17669866" into the search bar, expecting exactly one, single match for that unique AMI identifier. Instead, I get over 3600 hits for that AMI. Which doesn't make any sense.
OK, FINE.
I will just manually choose the 12.0-RELEASE AMI in US EAST and check the identifier string there.
Except, oops, nowhere, anywhere, anyhow, is there a way to match up the AMI ID (ami-03b0f822e17669866) with the AMI I am choosing. That AMI identifier is NOWHERE in the description, or the index, or the Amazon ID or the properties ... nowhere.
How can I do this ?
How can I choose an AMI and verify that it is exactly the one (ami-03b0f822e17669866) specified in the FreeBSD release notes ?
Thanks.
