That's odd @ericterpstra - the script uses describe-images to locate the AMI, so I'm not sure how the lookup can succeed, but the instance request fail.

I assume aws configure list shows your region is us-west-2?

I had the same problem when my region was set to us-west-1, changing it to us-west-2 did the trick.
