bdutil: How to launch a Hadoop cluster with a requested image id? (Ubuntu 12.04)

Question

When I attempt to launch a Hadoop cluster with the bdutil command, using one of the following:

bdutil -b a_hadoop_test -n 1 -P mycluster -e hadoop2_env.sh -i ubuntu-1204 deploy

OR

bdutil -b a_hadoop_test -n 1 -P mycluster -e hadoop2_env.sh -i ubuntu-1204-precise-v20150316 deploy

I receive the following error:

******************* gcloud compute stderr *******************
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Could not fetch image resource:
 - The resource 'projects/my_project_name/global/images/ubuntu-1204' was not found

What do I need to do to launch with a requested Ubuntu image?

Answer 1

Ok here's the answer - I messed up the instance name. It's actually:

ubuntu-12-04

...so the command is:

bdutil -b a_hadoop_test -n 1 -P mycluster -e hadoop2_env.sh -i ubuntu-12-04 deploy
