When will EC2 hibernation be supported in Tel Aviv region?

Question

Hi,

I'm your first Israeli customer, since end of 2005 in another account (when EC2 was still beta!), and several years later in this account, and I was very happy to hear that there is finally an Israeli region.

Unfortunately, when I launched my first "Israeli" EC2 instance earlier today, I couldn't define it as "stop as hibernate", although I remembered to select "encryption" for the disk (BTW: In my humble opinion, you should allow hibernation even when the disk is not encrypted, because it's the customer problem and not yours, and a warning will be enough, but this is out of the scope...).

When will you support it in Israel too?
I'm used to us-east-1 where it has been supported for years, and had no idea that it's region-dependent and not global.
And BTW, is there a list of supported "hibernatable" regions, and a roadmap for the rest?

Thank you very much,
Eli Marmor

Hello.

It was mentioned in the document below.  
However, I couldn't find a support roadmap.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/hibernating-prerequisites.html  
> Supported in all AWS Regions except Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), and Israel (Tel Aviv).

When will EC2 hibernation be supported in Tel Aviv region?
