type Filters

list

param 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 ).

• message - The Zone message.

• opt-in-status - The opt in status ( opted-in , and not-opted-in | opt-in-not-required ).

• region-name - The name of the Region for the Zone (for example, us-east-1 ).

• state - The state of the Availability Zone or Local Zone ( available | information | impaired | unavailable ).

• (dict) --

  A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs. The filters supported by a describe operation are documented with the describe operation. For example:

  • DescribeAvailabilityZones

  • DescribeImages

  • DescribeInstances

  • DescribeKeyPairs

  • DescribeSecurityGroups

  • DescribeSnapshots

  • DescribeSubnets

  • DescribeTags

  • DescribeVolumes

  • DescribeVpcs

  • Name (string) --

    The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

  • Values (list) --

    The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.

    • (string) --

type ZoneNames

list

param ZoneNames

The names of the Zones.

• (string) --

type ZoneIds

list

param ZoneIds

The IDs of the Zones.

• (string) --

type AllAvailabilityZones

boolean

param AllAvailabilityZones

Include all Availability Zones and Local 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.

type DryRun

boolean

param DryRun

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 .
