Bug Description
Binary package hint: euca2ools
none of the euca2ools commands support '--region' flag.
This is less relevant to eucalyptus than it is to ec2, and arguably not at all
relevant to eucalyptus. That said, most ec2-* commands take '--region', which
essentially sets the EC2_URL flag accordingly. For example:
ec2-describe-
uses ec2.amazonaws.com
ec2-describe-
uses us-east-
passing --region is more convienent than having to change EC2_URL for each.

"none of the euca2ools commands support '--region' flag."
euca-describe- availability- zones supports the --region flag.
Sure, this can be added to other commands.
It cannot be used in a consistent way with Eucalyptus and Amazon, however, since "--region" only supplies part of the EC2_URL. The rest is implicitly assumed to be "ec2.amazonaws.com"
Sure, we could make hack-ish assumptions (for instance, if the region contains /services/ Eucalyptus, use the entire URL, if not, append ec2.amazonaws.com).
