Description

The ec2 describe-availability-zones call now returns a ZoneId field which gives you the exact physical location of where that AZ is. For example, the cli now returns:

            "State": "available",
            "ZoneName": "us-east-1a",
            "Messages": [],
            "ZoneId": "use1-az1",
            "RegionName": "us-east-1"

This is powerful for being able to exclude certain availability zones when they don't have supported instance types or features (EKS is one)

New or Affected Resource(s)

data.aws_availability_zone
data.aws_availability_zones

Probably others.

More information on Availability Zone IDs here and their use with RAM here.
Note that AvailabilityZoneId has also now been added to the CreateSubnet API as it is needed for VPC sharing.

Support for zone ID in the two availability zone data sources has been merged and will release with version 1.51.0 of the AWS provider, likely in the next day or two. 👍
