In the Openstack Nova\_compute module, I cannot give the availability zone for an instance I want to create. Only the region, but my IAAS provider only has Availability Zones. Does anyone know if, and how that would be possible? ---

Can you please share what playbook data you are sending to it? ---

Hello Michael, I’ve checked the module code, it is not in there. I’ve added this option and sent a pull request: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/8182](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/8182) ---
