By default, when you create a new Broadcaster Cluster on AWS, ZEN Master will use the latest AMI configuration. If you need a different AMI configuration, however, you can create one and select it when you create or edit your clusters. To do this, you will need to go to an EC2 instance in the AWS Console and get the **AMI ID **for it.
