    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Glad you got it working.  I had no idea
      about the difference between the two versions regarding AMI
      creation. For AMI creation, I find it easier to use the console. 
      This way I can label and provide a detailed description of the
      AMIs I create and label their corresponding snapshots in the same
      way so that I have an easier time deleting them when they are no
      longer of use to me. <br>

                        <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 moz-do-not-send="true"
