Failing to deploy from us-west-2 region to us-east-1 using light stemcell #14

Closed drnic closed 9 years ago

drnic commented 9 years ago

I am deploying something from an Ubuntu VM on AWS us-west-2. The manifest is to deploy into us-east-1 using light stemcell. The host's AWS ID is i-2633bbef. This should be irrelevant; but it's appearing in the error message:

Deployment manifest: '/home/ubuntu/workspace/experiments/bosh-init-concourse/concourse.yml'
Deployment state: '/home/ubuntu/workspace/experiments/bosh-init-concourse/deployment.json'

Why might "create_stemcell" fail for a light stemcell if the target region is us-east-1?

This error message happens with full AWS stemcell since the CPI is trying to figure out how to make it into an AMI by looking up current instance within specified region. Currently you can only use full AWS stemcells within the same region.

I've verified that creating an instance with light stemcell works from different regions.
