Description

While I was testing WHIRR-400 I have noticed that the ZooKeeper integration tests are failing on aws-ec2 with the automatically selected AMI but they are working as expected with the Amazon Linux AMI. The tests are also working as expected on cloudservers-us. This makes me think the failure is not related to our code changes and we should look for an external factor as the root cause.

As part of this issue we should think about how to improve the automatic AMI selection mechanism in order to make it more robust and less likely to fail due to AMI upgrades and other external changes.
