NAME

       VM::EC2::Region - Object describing an Amazon region

SYNOPSIS

         use VM::EC2;

         $ec2       = VM::EC2->new(...);
         @regions   = $ec2->describe_regions();

         $region  = $regions[0];
         $name    = $region->regionName;

         @zones   = $region->zones;

DESCRIPTION

       This object represents an Amazon EC2 region, and is returned by
       VM::EC2->describe_regions().

METHODS

       These object methods are supported:

        regionName      -- Name of the region, e.g. "eu-west-1"
        regionEndpoint  -- URL endpoint for AWS API calls, e.g.
                           "ec2.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com"
        zones           -- List of availability zones within this
                           region, as VM::EC2::AvailabilityZone
                           objects.

       Note that you should prefix the endpoint with http:// or https:// before using it to
       change the VM::EC2 endpoint with the endpoint() call. If you do not do so, then https://
       will be assumed.

STRING OVERLOADING

       When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the regionName.
