CloudFormation error.

I'm getting the following error from cloud formation.

I was following: http://scaleio-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/demo/

@depohmel can you give me a bit more info to help me and @dvonthenen debug this issue for you? I also want to verify you are using the US West N. California region.

I just ran it following the directions as laid out and all resources came up and were deployed as expected.

Hi @kacole2, yes i'm using US West N. California

So I was following the guide (thru ui part)
I uploaded http://scaleio-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/Framework_Testing_Cluster_RHEL7.json and clicked Create.

Everything was fine until instances creation.
Looks it failing to use AMIs form your account.

@depohmel Assuming it's trying to place it in us-west-1 because that seems to work for me. I just deployed it again without any issue

Here are the AMIs in use.
ami-64174404
ami-d51447b5
ami-65174405
ami-c21a4ba2
ami-441a4b24
ami-15184975

You can go to your EC2 console, click on AMIs, then hit the drop down for public images and you should see them available to you.
