[ Cloud Computing ] Re: EC2 available in Europe

@John: by default amazon api tools will run new instances in US and if
you want to to use the EU you will have to manually define this, like:
export EC2_URL=https://eu-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com

Regardless of that, you can define where you want your instance to run
using the -z option when starting ec2-run-instances:
-z, --availability-zone ZONE
Specifies the availability zone to launch the instances in.
Run the
'ec2-describe-availability-zones' command for a list of
values, and
see the latest Developer's Guide for their meanings.
ec2-describe-availability-zones
AVAILABILITYZONE us-east-1a available us-east-1
AVAILABILITYZONE us-east-1b available us-east-1
AVAILABILITYZONE us-east-1c available us-east-1
