Description
Instances in the same zone have much better performance when communicating between each other. It would be useful to be able to set the zone you wish an instance to start in as well as the region. At least they end up on the right side of the world at the moment but same server farm would be even more useful.
region: eu-west
zone: eu-west-1b
for instance
This is actually critically important if you want to attach an EBS volume to the EC2 instance. Since you can't control the zone in starting the instance, you will likely have a situation were the instance is not in the same zone as the EBS volume you want to attach to it.
