    10  
    11  The Availability Zones data source allows access to the list of AWS
    12  Availability Zones which can be accessed by an AWS account within the region
    13  configured in the provider.
    14  
    15  This is different from the `aws_availability_zone` (singular) data source,
    16  which provides some details about a specific availability zone.
    17  
    18  ## Example Usage
    19  
    20  ```
    21  # Declare the data source
    22  data "aws_availability_zones" "available" {}
    23  
    24  # e.g. Create subnets in the first two available availability zones
    25  
    26  resource "aws_subnet" "primary" {
    27    availability_zone = "${data.aws_availability_zones.available.names[0]}"
    28  
    29    # Other properties...
    30  }
    31  
    32  resource "aws_subnet" "secondary" {
    33    availability_zone = "${data.aws_availability_zones.available.names[1]}"
    34  
    35    # Other properties...
    36  }
    37  ```
    38
