data "alicloud_zones" "default" {
    "available_instance_type"= "ecs.n4.large"
    "available_disk_category"= "cloud_ssd"
}

# Create ecs instance with the first matched zone

resource "alicloud_instance" "instance" {
  availability_zone = "${data.alicloud_zones.default.zones.0.id}"

  # Other properties...
}
