# EC2 Describe Availability Zones
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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html) 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. | | | | |
