[StarCluster] about using the cg1.4xlarge or cc1.4xlarge instances

[Moussa Taifi]

Hello,

I am kind of new to this.

I was trying to use the starcluster with the new cg1.4xlarge instances but I
found out that the images that are provided as example (ami-a5c42dcc and
ami-d1c42db8) are both paravirtual while the cluster instances require hvm,
hardware virtualization. not that I understand fully all this yet but is
there anyone that had this problem? and is there an ami available to use for
the cluster instances that is at the same time configured like the available
amis?

Thank you,

Moussa
