Hi Akhil - make sure you have updated all references in your bosh manifest
to point to us-west-1 (bosh.io examples use us-east-1). It looks like
bosh-init thinks you're trying to work in us-east-1 - it'll use a different
AMI for the us-west-1 region.

Hi

I was trying to bootstrap an environment on AWS following instructions at
[1]. I'm getting an error -

My AWS region is set to us-west-1, could that be the problem? Is this AMI
not available in us-west-1?

Thanks in advance!
