Overview

Represents an EC2 region. You can use this to find the endpoint for a given region:

ec2.regions["us-west-1"].endpoint

Region also responds to all of the methods of AWS::EC2 except #regions; for example, to list instance IDs by region, you can do:

ec2.regions.inject({}) do |h,region|
  h[region.name] = region.instances.map(&:id)
  h
end
