Deploying OpenShift Container Platform 3 on Amazon Web Services - What is the AMI to use if I want to install in another AWS region? about openshift-ansible-contrib

[detiber]

@cooktheryan I'm wondering if we should add a mapping to the cloudformation templates for the default ami for each region and then use those by default if not explicitly set.

For the hourly image, use the following below:

AMI	Amazon Region
ami-2051294a	us-east-1
ami-d1315fb1	us-west-1
ami-775e4f16	us-west-2
ami-8b8c57f8	eu-west-1
ami-875042eb	eu-central-1
ami-0dd8f963	ap-northeast-1
ami-44db152a	ap-northeast-2
ami-3f03c55c	ap-southeast-1
ami-e0c19f83	ap-southeast-2
ami-27b3094b	sa-east-1

If you have private, red hat gold images, use those.

edit: I wrote the following prior to realising the OP was asking specifically about OpenShift Container Platform even though it was glaringly obvious from the title, however the below information could be useful for those employing Origin.

List available Centos Atomic Host ami's by region:
410186602215 = Centos Atomic Owner
$ aws --region us-west-1 ec2 describe-images --owners 410186602215 | grep 'CentOS Atomic Host 7 x86_64 HVM EBS'

Finding AMI ids
If you want to find the ami ids with the api, you can use the product code to search in each region. Keep in mind that multiple AMI ids may be associated with a product key. These correspond to different releases of the product. Here's an example command using awscli in us-east-1 to find the CentOS-7 images: ( Lifted from https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS )

$ aws --region us-east-1 ec2 describe-images --owners aws-marketplace --filters Name=product-code,Values=aw0evgkw8e5c1q413zgy5pjce
