AWS v6.80.0 published on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

    The Availability Zones data source allows access to the list of AWS Availability Zones which can be accessed by an AWS account within the region configured in the provider.

    This is different from the aws.getAvailabilityZone (singular) data source, which provides some details about a specific availability zone.

    When Local Zones are enabled in a region, by default the API and this data source include both Local Zones and Availability Zones. To return only Availability Zones, see the example section below.

    Example Usage

    By State

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Declare the data source
const available = aws.getAvailabilityZones({
    state: "available",
});
// e.g., Create subnets in the first two available availability zones
const primary = new aws.ec2.Subnet("primary", {availabilityZone: available.then(available => available.names?.[0])});
const secondary = new aws.ec2.Subnet("secondary", {availabilityZone: available.then(available => available.names?.[1])});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_aws as aws

# Declare the data source
available = aws.get_availability_zones(state="available")
# e.g., Create subnets in the first two available availability zones
primary = aws.ec2.Subnet("primary", availability_zone=available.names[0])
secondary = aws.ec2.Subnet("secondary", availability_zone=available.names[1])

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/sdk/v6/go/aws"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/sdk/v6/go/aws/ec2"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		// Declare the data source
		available, err := aws.GetAvailabilityZones(ctx, &aws.GetAvailabilityZonesArgs{
			State: pulumi.StringRef("available"),
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		// e.g., Create subnets in the first two available availability zones
		_, err = ec2.NewSubnet(ctx, "primary", &ec2.SubnetArgs{
			AvailabilityZone: pulumi.String(available.Names[0]),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		_, err = ec2.NewSubnet(ctx, "secondary", &ec2.SubnetArgs{
			AvailabilityZone: pulumi.String(available.Names[1]),
