I wondered if you might be able to help.

I have very little computing experience but have been trying to launch a cloud instance for the last 24 hrs.

Initially I had problems launching the instance in Sahari i.e. it kept saying that it could not connect to the relevant page.

When I have finally got top the CloudMan launch page it is giving the following message

[Critical] Volume 'vol-dd6397db' is located in the wrong availability zone for this instance. You MUST terminate this instance and start a new one in zone 'us-east-1a'

despite the fact that I am sure I have started in zone 'us-east-1a.

How important are the security codes and keys?
