AWS SDK instance creation doesn't accept AMI ID

I'm trying to perform instance creation through Node.js AWS SDK and I'm using following code for that:

OpsWorks.createInstanceAsync({
    InstanceType: config.instanceType,
    LayerIds: [config.layerId],
    StackId: config.stackId,
    RootDeviceType: params.RootDeviceType || 'ebs',
    AvailabilityZone: params.AvailabilityZone,
    InstanceType: params.InstanceType,
    SubnetId: params.SubnetId,
    AmiId: config.amiId
  });
});

This piece of code works fine when no AmiId is specified (booting completely new instance). In order to reduce deployment time, I planned to use AMI and when added AmiId parameter I'm getting following error:

ValidationException: The AMI ID cannot be set for this OS

Any ides why this happens on OpsWorks (Ubuntu 14.04)?

Thanks

You need to add the OS for the AMI. Use code below.

OpsWorks.createInstanceAsync({
    InstanceType: config.instanceType,
    LayerIds: [config.layerId],
    StackId: config.stackId,
    RootDeviceType: params.RootDeviceType || 'ebs',
    AvailabilityZone: params.AvailabilityZone,
    InstanceType: params.InstanceType,
    SubnetId: params.SubnetId,
    Os: 'Custom',
    AmiId: config.amiId
  });
});
