EC2 Describe Availability Zones - BlinkOps Documentation

Describes the Availability Zones, Local Zones, and Wavelength Zones that are available to you. If there is an event impacting a zone, you can use this request to view the state and any provided messages for that zone. For more information about Availability Zones, Local Zones, and Wavelength Zones, see Regions, Zones and Outposts in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
AWS Region(s)	Enter the desired AWS Region(s). To execute the action in multiple regions, provide a comma-separated list. For example: `us-east-1,eu-west-2`. If you wish to run the action in all available regions, use the asterisk symbol (`*`) instead.
All Availability Zones	Include all Availability Zones, Local Zones, and Wavelength Zones regardless of your opt-in status. If you do not use this parameter, the results include only the zones for the Regions where you have chosen the option to opt in.
Zone Names	The names of the Availability Zones, Local Zones, and Wavelength Zones.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Disable XML To JSON Auto Convert	When checked, XML responses are not automatically converted into JSON format.
Dry Run	Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is `DryRunOperation`. Otherwise, it is `UnauthorizedOperation`.
Filters	The filters. - `group-name` - For Availability Zones, use the Region name. For Local Zones, use the name of the group associated with the Local Zone (for example, `us-west-2-lax-1`) For Wavelength Zones, use the name of the group associated with the Wavelength Zone (for example, `us-east-1-wl1-bos-wlz-1`). - `message` - The Zone message. - `opt-in-status` - The opt-in status ( `opted-in`, and `not-opted-in` \	`opt-in-not-required`). - `parent-zoneID` - The ID of the zone that handles some of the Local Zone and Wavelength Zone control plane operations, such as API calls. - `parent-zoneName` - The ID of the zone that handles some of the Local Zone and Wavelength Zone control plane operations, such as API calls. - `region-name` - The name of the Region for the Zone (for example, `us-east-1`). - `state` - The state of the Availability Zone, the Local Zone, or the Wavelength Zone ( `available` \	`information` \	`impaired` \	`unavailable`). - `zone-id` - The ID of the Availability Zone (for example, `use1-az1`), the Local Zone (for example, `usw2-lax1-az1`), or the Wavelength Zone (for example, `us-east-1-wl1-bos-wlz-1`). - `zone-type` - The type of zone, for example, `local-zone`. - `zone-name` - The name of the Availability Zone (for example, `us-east-1a`), the Local Zone (for example, `us-west-2-lax-1a`), or the Wavelength Zone (for example, `us-east-1-wl1-bos-wlz-1`). - `zone-type` - The type of zone, for example, `local-zone`.
Zone IDs	The IDs of the Availability Zones, Local Zones, and Wavelength Zones.
