[StarCluster] Missing Ocelots

[Justin Riley]

Hi Jack,

As you've seen, the majority of StarCluster AMIs are available in the
us-east-1 region and sort of scattered about in the other availability
zones. I'm in the process of releasing StarCluster 0.92.2 which will
come with new 11.10-based AMIs. These 11.10 AMIs have already been built
and are available in *all* availability zones including the new sa-east
zone, however, I'm waiting to flip the public bit until 0.92.2 is
released. Should be just in time for Xmas, stay tuned...
