Hey there everyone,

I'd like to say thanks for putting the AMI's for recent releases in the aws parameter store, this certainly makes it easier for automation purposes.  I have one request though - in the release notes could we update the prose stating you can get the AMI's from the parameter store to include a hint about how to do it using the CLI?

I often try to use the web console to get the right AMI but find its super buggy and doesn't reliably show the full results, so then I have to remember the right syntax for the aws cli.

Perhaps it could be updated to something similar to:

"FreeBSD/aarch64 EC2 AMI IDs can be retrieved from the Systems Manager Parameter Store via the AWS CLI by running the following command:

'aws --region $REGION ssm get-parameter --name $KEY'

where $REGION is your desired AWS region, and $KEY is one of the following:"
