   Ah, @backnight by default we boot all of the instances in us-west-2. If you want to use a different region, you'll have to pass in your own availability zones for it:

   module "stack-east" {
     source      = "github.com/segmentio/stack"
     name        = "stack-east"
     environment = "prod-east"
     key_name    = "bastion-ssh"
     region      = "us-east-1"
     availability_zones = "us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east1-c"
   }

   As far as the image not being found, cc @achille-roussel can you double check the public settings?

   AMIs are local to the region as well. I'll copy them to other regions.

   We've copied the AMIs to all EC2 regions, they will be selected automatically by default if you change the region.

   For the availability zones (and by extension the subnets) you should specify them manually, it's the best we can do for now. I tried to give a shot at having terraform dynamically select the right AZ and generate the subnets accordingly but it doesn't work, the subnet resources are generated dynamically via the count property and terraform needs to know how many it has to create or the plan fails (no dynamically computed value can be given to the count property unfortunately).

   If you know of a better way feel free to let me know and I'll give it a shot.

   See these PR for reference:

   • default AMIs for all EC2 regions #11
   • default AZ for the region #12

   Thanks guys for the reactivity.

   Just wanted to add a little information about @calvinfo first comment:

   availability_zones = "us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east1-c"

   There is a mistyping, the AZ us-east1-c doesn't exist, there are : us-east-1d and us-east-1e BUT NO us-east1-c (for those who will copy past it).

   Have a nice day!

   Is somebody updating the AMIs? Did a terraform apply earlier today no problems. Tried it again just now in us-east-1 to be greeted with:

   aws_launch_configuration.main: InvalidAMIID.NotFound: The image id '[ami-f3985d93]' does not exist; status code: 400, request id: 68e2242a-c53d-4380-9274-16f3bca2deaf

   The AMIs were not changed to the best of my knowledge, however this AMI seems to be available for us-west-2, in us-east-1 the AMI id is ami-5f3ff932, not sure why the modules haven't selected the right AMI here :/

   Was it working in a different region?

    Also can you confirm you're using the up-to-date master branch?

    I reverted to Terraform v0.6.16, as I believe one of my other issues stemmed from 0.7. I am now currently trying to do a terraform get of the master branch, and am receiving the error

    Error loading Terraform: Error downloading modules: module vpc: Error loading .terraform/modules/<long id>/main.tf: Variable 'external_subnets' must be of type string or map - 'list' is not a valid type

    This is fixed by specifying source = "github.com/segmentio/stack?ref=0.1" in the stack module:

    Terraform v0.6.16
    Stack v0.1

    Here's my current base stack setup for us-east-1:

    provider "aws" {
      region = "us-east-1"
    }
    
    module "stack" {
      source      = "github.com/segmentio/stack?ref=0.1"
      name        = "clientname"
      environment = "demo"
      key_name    = "bastion-ssh"
      availability_zones = "us-east-1d,us-east-1a,us-east-1b"
    }
    

    It's currently failing due to it finding the correct AMI when trying to setup the bastion server.

    I noticed the region is set incorrectly when running terraform plan:

    + module.stack.ecs_cluster.template_file.cloud_config
        rendered:              "" => "<computed>"
        template:              "" => "#cloud-config\nbootcmd:\n  - echo 'SERVER_ENVIRONMENT=${environment}' >> /etc/environment\n  - echo 'SERVER_GROUP=${name}' >> /etc/environment\n  - echo 'SERVER_REGION=${region}' >> /etc/environment\n\n  - mkdir -p /etc/ecs\n  - echo 'ECS_ENGINE_AUTH_TYPE=${docker_auth_type}' >> /etc/ecs/ecs.config\n  - echo 'ECS_ENGINE_AUTH_DATA=${docker_auth_data}' >> /etc/ecs/ecs.config\n"
        vars.#:                "" => "5"
        vars.docker_auth_data: "" => ""
        vars.docker_auth_type: "" => ""
        vars.environment:      "" => "demo"
        vars.name:             "" => "default"
        vars.region:           "" => "us-west-2" <--- Incorrect
    

    It's also causing the incorrect AMI to be specified for ECS cluster and bastion servers.

    @adambarthelson Just by looking at the stack config, i think you're missing the region:

    module "stack" {
      source      = "github.com/segmentio/stack?ref=0.1"
      name        = "clientname"
      environment = "demo"
      key_name    = "bastion-ssh"
      availability_zones = "us-east-1d,us-east-1a,us-east-1b"
      region = "us-east-1" // <- Missing from your config?
    }

    If you're just getting started, i suggest you use the latest terraform, lots of fixes and new features!
