SYNOPSIS

use VM::EC2;

$ec2       = VM::EC2->new(...);
@regions   = $ec2->describe_regions();

$name    = $region->regionName;

DESCRIPTION

This object represents an Amazon EC2 region, and is returned by VM::EC2->describe_regions().

METHODS

These object methods are supported:

regionName      -- Name of the region, e.g. "eu-west-1"
regionEndpoint  -- URL endpoint for AWS API calls, e.g. 
                   "ec2.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com"
zones           -- List of availability zones within this
                   region, as VM::EC2::AvailabilityZone
                   objects.

Note that you should prefix the endpoint with http:// or https:// before using it to change the VM::EC2 endpoint with the endpoint() call. If you do not do so, then https:// will be assumed.

STRING OVERLOADING

When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the regionName.
