[StarCluster] Instance Types list

[Shlomit Afgin]

Maybe I wasn’t clear, 
I want to use local script that will display to the user the supported types. 
The user will choose the type, I will check the value the user enter against the list.
if everything okay a config file will be created 
When the user run ‘starcluster start …’ he will not failed because the instance type checked before.
I tried with the command: 
    curl --silent https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garnaat/missingcloud/master/aws.json | jq -c '[.services."Elastic Compute Cloud".instance_types|to_entries|.[]|.key]’
But it give me also types that not supported by HVM.

Another thing,
I use ‘aws cli …’ in the documentation, it said that if the return code is 0 the command was successful with no error.
I run it to create volume, if failed with error 
"A client error (VolumeLimitExceeded…"
But the return code is still 0. Why?

Thanks 
Shlomit
