<div>I can't attest to the behavior of
StarCluster regarding AMI creation because I usually do my AMI
creation from AWS console. I can say that in the past I had SSH go
down if I created an AMI of a running instance. Luckily after the
AMI was completed and I reboot a few times I got SSH functionality
back without having to mount my EBS backed instance to another
running instance to restore SSH functionality. After that
experience I just stop the instance prior to making an AMI. This
of course only works on EBS backed instances where the stopping
them doesn't result in termination -- also stopping will dump all
that you have stored in instance storage. If rebooting the
instance doesn't work you can look <a href="http://alestic.com/2011/02/ec2-fix-ebs-root" target="_blank">here</a> for
directions on mounting to another running instance to restore
functionality.<br>
<br>
Good Luck!<br>
