Description

To ensure test configurations are region and partition agnostic, any hardcoded AZ identifiers ([a-z]{2}(-[a-z]+)+-[1-9][0-9](-[a-z]+-[1-9][0-9])?[a-z]) should be replaced with the aws_availability_zones data source.

To ensure test configurations are region and partition agnostic, any hardcoded Region identifiers ([a-z]{2}(-[a-z]+)+-[1-9][0-9]*) should be replaced with the aws_region data source.
