Hi Dustin,

My apologies for the delay...

Thanks for reporting, this was indeed a bug that occurred when I added
multiple architectures in the static.INSTANCE_TYPES mapping to
accommodate micro instances being either x86 or x86_64. I believe I've
fixed this in the github code. Would you mind pulling the latest version
and testing it out?

This should be fixed as well in the github code. Would you mind pulling
and testing this as well?

Awesome that would be great to have. Would you mind forking the
StarClusterPlugins project on github.com, adding your code, and sending
a pull request? We're trying to create a repository of plugins there
that users can contribute to separately from the core code base. You can
find the StarClusterPlugins project here:

Thanks!
