Before we proceed, you're going to need to know the names of at least two Availability Zones in the region we're deploying to. The recipes in this book will typically deploy to us-east-, so to get things moving you can just use the following:
- us-east-1a
- us-east-1b
When you create an AWS account, your zones are randomly allocated. This means that us-east-1a in your account isn't necessarily the same data center as us-east-1a in my account.
