How do I give imageNameRegex an actual regular expression?
I'm trying to use a specific AMI on AWS using it's name.
It works if I set the imageNameRegex = region/image_name
but fails if I try any of the follwoing:
imageNameRegex = image_name
imageNameRegex = .*/image_name
imageNameRegex = .*image_name
imageNameRegex = /.*image_name/
The aim here is that I can copy an AMI across a number of regions and have
brooklyn pick up the correct one without my having to specify a specific
image id for that region.
Looking at the brooklyn tests then I shouldn't even need a regex - as long
as the name is a substring of the full name it should work.
I'm setting this in the brooklyn.properties not the yaml all though I can't
imagine that makes any difference.
thanks
Duncan

Hi Duncan,
You may also need to specify the image owner.
As I recall, jclouds does something a little surprising with image
owners: if you specify an image name regex, it will only look in a small
number of image owner (rather than across all 20,000+ images, which can
take 60+ seconds to retrieve from AWS on some home networks).
If you specify the image owner, then it should find it, such as:
imageOwner = 411009282317
