Terraform: Error launching source instance: InvalidAMIID.NotFound

[debabratp]

Hi there,

I am trying to build a EC2 in AWS with the help of the getting started guide [https://www.terraform.io/intro/getting-started/build.html].
The .tf file is like below

provider "aws" {
access_key = "<<>>"
secret_key = "<<>>"
region = "us-west-1"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
ami = "ami-6f68cf0f"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
}

The ami instance 'ami-6f68cf0f' is available in AWS. Still I am getting this error

aws_instance.example: Error launching source instance: InvalidAMIID.NotFound: The image id '[ami-6f68cf0f]' does not exist
status code: 400

Your help is appreciates.

Hi @debabratp! Sorry things didn't work out here.

Are you sure that ami-6f68cf0f is in the us-west-1 region, and accessible to the credentials you're using? The usual cause for this error is that the AMI is in a different region than you expect.

Hi @debabratp

Thanks for opening the issue here - @apparentlymart is correct - this AMI works in us-west-2 so you will need to find an appropriate AMI ID for us-west-1 for you to test

Thanks
