How do I find Availability Zones that I can use to launch resources in my account?

Resolution

Note: If you receive errors when you run AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, then see Troubleshoot AWS CLI errors. Also, make sure that you're using the most recent AWS CLI version.

Use the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) console, or AWS CLI to find available Availability Zones for your accounts.

Use the Amazon EC2 console

Complete the following steps:

1. Open the Amazon EC2 console.
2. In the Region selector, choose your AWS Region.
3. In the navigation pane, choose EC2 Dashboard.
4. In the Service Health section, view the list of Availability Zones under Availability Zone Status.

Use the AWS CLI

To generate a list of Availability Zones that are available to launch resources for your account, run the following describe-availability-zones command:

aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region example-region

Note: Replace example-region with your Region.
