=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use VM::EC2 qw(:standard);

=head1 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 L<VM::EC2::Region> and L<VM::EC2::AvailabilityZone>.

Implemented:
 DescribeAvailabilityZones
 DescribeRegions

Unimplemented:
 (none)

=head2 @regions = $ec2->describe_regions(@list)

=head2 @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.

sub describe_regions {
    my $self = shift;
    my %args = $self->args('-region_name',@_);
    my @params = $self->list_parm('RegionName',\%args);
    push @params,$self->filter_parm(\%args);
    return $self->call('DescribeRegions',@params);
}

=head2 @zones = $ec2->describe_availability_zones(@names)

=head2 @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
