I'm not sure if I sent this out before, I think I bounced because I used the wrong envelope-from address.

To update the list of regions in fog, you need to either monkey-patch the namespace, or grep around your fog gem in the compute area and update the hash of known.

In a more recent version of the gem here are the places where us-west-2 are specified in the compute heirarchy:

PN-mac:.emacs.d pn$ find ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290 -name \*.rb | grep compute | xargs grep -n us-west-2

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/compute.rb:174:          unless ['ap-northeast-1', 'ap-southeast-1', 'eu-west-1', 'us-east-1', 'us-west-1', 'us-west-2', 'sa-east-1'].include?(@region)

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/compute.rb:252:        #     ['eu-west-1', 'us-east-1', 'us-west-1', 'us-west-2', 'ap-northeast-1', 'ap-southeast-1']

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/compute.rb:285:            when 'us-west-2'

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/compute.rb:286:              'ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/requests/compute/describe_availability_zones.rb:58:            {"messageSet" => [], "regionName" => "us-west-2", "zoneName" => "us-west-2a", "zoneState" => "available"},

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/requests/compute/describe_availability_zones.rb:59:            {"messageSet" => [], "regionName" => "us-west-2", "zoneName" => "us-west-2b", "zoneState" => "available"},

 

These are the important ones:

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/compute.rb:285:            when 'us-west-2'

/Users/pn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/fog-1.1.2/lib/fog/aws/compute.rb:286:              'ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'

where does one add a region? the knife config?

   knife[:region] = "us-west-2"
