How can I map Availability Zones across my accounts?

However, you can use Availability Zone IDs (AZ IDs) to map AZ across accounts:Open the AWS Resource Access Manager console.In the navigation bar, select your Region from the Region selector.In the Your AZ ID pane on the right, review the list of AZ names and their corresponding AZ IDs.Note: You can also use the aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region "region-name" command in the AWS CLI to generate AZ ID information. Be sure to replace "region-name" with the name of your AWS region.Identify which AZ have the same AZ IDs across your accounts. AZs that have the same AZ IDs map to the same physical location.You can gain better insight into your resources by using the information from performing the previous steps. Then, you can make informed decisions on things such as:Launching new instances in a subnet that was created in your desired AZ.Moving an EC2 instance to another subnet, Availability Zone, or VPC.Related informationUse consistent Availability Zones in VPCs across different AWS accountsFollow"
