/worker/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/amazon-pricing-0.1.63/lib/amazon-pricing/aws-price-list.rb:53:in `get_instance_type': Region us-east-1a not found (RuntimeError)

Availability zone on return server is: availability_zone="us-east-1a"

In the region named us-west-1, there are availability zones us-west-1a, us-west-1b, us-west-1c. You need to use the region and not the AZ to look up the pricing.

All the issues I opened come down to your code example not working: http://www.hightechinthehub.com/2012/03/programmatically-retrieving-aws-pricing/

After a bunch of digging around and trying to figure out how it works, I eventually got it working. It would be great to provide some examples that work.
