NAME VM::EC2::REST::zone - Fetch information on EC2 regions and availability zones

SYNOPSIS

        use VM::EC2 qw(:standard);

EC2 REGIONS AND AVAILABILITY ZONES

       This section describes methods that allow you to fetch information on EC2 regions and
       availability zones. These methods return objects of type VM::EC2::Region and
       VM::EC2::AvailabilityZone.

       Implemented:
        DescribeAvailabilityZones
        DescribeRegions

       Unimplemented:
        (none)

   @regions = $ec2->describe_regions(@list)
   @regions = $ec2->describe_regions(-region_name=>\@list)
       Describe regions and return a list of VM::EC2::Region objects. Call with no arguments to
       return all regions. You may provide a list of regions in either of the two forms shown
       above in order to restrict the list returned. Glob-style wildcards, such as "*east") are
       allowed.

   @zones = $ec2->describe_availability_zones(@names)
   @zones = $ec2->describe_availability_zones(-zone_name=>\@names,-filter=>\%filters)
       Describe availability zones and return a list of VM::EC2::AvailabilityZone objects. Call
       with no arguments to return all availability regions. You may provide a list of zones in
       either of the two forms shown above in order to restrict the list returned. Glob-style
       wildcards, such as "*east") are allowed.

       If you provide a single argument consisting of a hashref, it is treated as a -filter
       argument. In other words:

        $ec2->describe_availability_zones({state=>'available'})

       is equivalent to

        $ec2->describe_availability_zones(-filter=>{state=>'available'})

       Availability zone filters are described at
       http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-DescribeAvailabilityZones.html
