This API is provided to bridge the gap beetwen CS functionality and support the 
EC2 API's. With this API admin can set the default zone from the available 
zones for the accounts that use EC2.
All EC2 API calls that this account makes, will operate in relation to this 
default zone. 

E.g- AllocateAddress EIP call, CS needs to know which zone to pick the EIP 
from.  So awsapi will ask CS to pick it from the default zone marked for the 
account. 

Thanks,

Subject: "default_zone_id" for account

Hi,

I see an admin api - markDefaultZoneForAccount()  for assigning default Zone 
for an account.

Can someone provide me information on what it means to have a default Zone 
associated with an account?



Thanks
Sangeetha
