Well I have logs for the slave that used ami instance ami-b5ea34dc and
failed to start with the 404 failure in the morning.
Now the same slaves using ami-b5ea34dc instance are able to start without
the problem.
I am not an EC2 expert so am not sure why that failure occurred when I
tried earlier.
Anyways will keep a watch and inform if I see the problem again.
