Hello! Anand? emmm... I'm a student from China, and I just encounter a problem.
If you don't mind, I'm glad to ask some help from you to make me solve this problem easier!

Question is that:
I want run a project name skynet-train, and the first step is to start a instance (start-instance)
And I just find that it is similar to your script. My question is how to use it to start a instance on aws.

Sorry to bother.
