This used to be supported in ~/.juju/environments.yaml as default-image-id in older versions of Juju but is currently unimplemented in Juju 2.x.

According to this thread it just needs to be implemented:

This answer is out-of-date now and refers to the Python version of juju, which is not supported anymore. juju-core (the Go version) supports an "instance-type" constraint (run `juju help constraints` for more info) to select e.g. "m1.small", but specifying an AMI to use is not supported. – dimitern Oct 14 '14 at 07:12

If the image id is absolutely necessary for you, then this how you can get it working in precise.

Create a directory of your choice. cd into it and run:

bzr branch lp:juju/0.5

However before you can run from source, you need to make sure you have the dependencies installed.

sudo apt-get install python-zookeeper python-virtualenv python-yaml

Next cd into the 0.5 directory and run bzr revert -r479

Now run python setup.py develop inside the directory. Juju works great :)
