[StarCluster] apt-get 403 error

[David Mrva]

Hello,

The EC2 Ubuntu repository mirrors are down and according to 
communication from Canonical, they will not come up. This is because 
13.04 is on a short support cycle, see
http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/19/changes-in-ubuntu-releases-decided-by-the-ubuntu-technical-board/
and it has reached end of life in January 2014: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases.

This is very inconvenient. When I start a new spot instance with the 
loadbalancer, the pkginstaller plugin needs to install packages and the 
central (us.archive.ubuntu.com) repositories are not enabled by default.

Would it be possible to:
a/ always enable archive.ubuntu.com repositories to be used if EC2 
mirrors go down (or add an option to the pkginstall plugin to accept 
repository URLs to add to sources.list),
b/ add StarCluster AMIs with Ubuntu 14.10 LTS?

Currently, out of the Ubuntu releases supported by StarCluster only 
12.04 has not reached end-of-life:
