Bug Description
In the new Launch Instance wizard, a user is able to select a bootable volume as a boot source. However we don't do any checks that prevent a user from selecting a bootable volume that resides in a different availability zone from the availability zone they have selected for the instance. For some deployments, this may be problematic. We do have help text in the help panel that says the following:
"If you select an availability zone and plan to use the boot from volume option, make sure that the availability zone you select for the instance is the same availability zone where your bootable volume resides."
However the UX could be improved to warn the user more directly. At the very least we should show the Availability Zone as a column header for volumes in the transfer table. Right now that information is not even visible.
If possible we should also add a warning icon and tooltip next to the volume's availabity zone name within the transfer table, and the tooltip would show the help text when hovering over the warning icon.
