Public bug reported:

https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/?expanded=create-server-
detail#create-server

>From the "availability_zone" parameter description:

"You can list the available availability zones by calling the os-
availability-zone API, but you should avoid using the default
availability zone when booting the instance. In general, the default
availability zone is named nova. This AZ is only shown when listing the
availability zones as an admin."

And the user docs on AZs:

https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/aggregates.html
#availability-zones-azs

Yet the 2.1 and 2.63 samples use:

"availability_zone": "nova",

The API samples should be updated to match the warning in the parameter
description.

** Affects: nova
