Cannot find aws-parallelcluster AMI

Question

I'm trying to launch an instance using an aws-parallelcluster AMI from the console. However, I cannot find any of them by searching using aws-parallelcluster or similar. Is there any list with the AMI IDs for each region and OS? 
Thanks.

I had to install pcluster in an instance and run the command 
$ pcluster list-official-images 
Otherwise, I wasn't able to find the list.

Hi @AWS-User-7310704,
`pcluster list-official-images` is the right command to use.

The alternative is to use a command like:
```
aws ec2 describe-images --owners amazon --filters "Name=name,Values=aws-parallelcluster-3.7.1-*"
```
or do something similar from the AWS console.

Anyway could you describe why you're using it outside of ParallelCluster, as a standalone instance? Which is your use case?

Thanks
Enrico
