Description
Much of the time taken to start a cluster is in installing the software on the instances. By allowing users to build their own images it would make cluster launches faster. The way this could work is by having a create image step that brings up an instance and runs the install scripts on it before creating an image from it. The resulting image would then be used in subsequent launches.
