I am very sorry for mistake: - You can explicitly set AMI name in configuration properties file (and provided with Whirr 0.6.0 sample uses UBUNTU/Lucid backed by EBS) - I didn't set it, and Whirr used the same AMI (it's probably hardcoded default? I think Whirr lists all Linux AMIs, and pics first available in _this_ datacenter)
