I’m querying the AWS API and trying to launch an instance with the AMI ID that is located in us-west-1a. This is failing with an error of InvalidAMIID. Using the same API keys I’m able to launch an AMI in us-east-1b. Has anyone have experience with this? I’m positive I’m doing something wrong. Not sure if this is the right place to ask.

I’ve been able to narrow this down to one of two things:
The AWS REST API requires both region and availability zone to be specified. It isn’t possible to just specify the availability zone.
OR
The above problem lies actually in the ‘aws’ ruby gem
