[Labs-l] Availability Zones

[Damian Zaremba]

AFAIK they are the same thing at the moment, selecting either should work fine.

Once the next zone comes online it will matter slightly more.

If you're having issues creating instances, I'd suggest taking a look over Ryan's email as it outlines some current (known) issues :)

Thanks,
Damian

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:
