[Labs-l] Availability Zones

[Jesusaurus]

I have noticed an issue when creating instances for the puppet-cleanup
project: the availability zone always comes out as pmtpa.  I tried deleting
the instance and creating another, making sure that nova was selected, but
no matter what is selected during creation, the instance list shows it as
having the pmtpa availability zone.  I'm not even very sure what this even
means, or if it's a problem.  I'm kind of assuming that this is related to
my puppet errors involving ssl cert symlinks.  So, my questions are:

What is an availability zone?

What is the difference between nova and pmtpa?

Does it matter that my instance (jesusaurus-cleanup) is in pmpta instead of
nova?
