function Add-FnGetAZs {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Adds the intrinsic function "Fn::GetAZs" to a resource property
    
    .DESCRIPTION
        The intrinsic function Fn::GetAZs returns an array that lists Availability Zones for a specified region. Because customers have access to different Availability Zones, the intrinsic function Fn::GetAZs enables template authors to write templates that adapt to the calling user's access. That way you don't have to hard-code a full list of Availability Zones for a specified region.

            ** Important **
                For the EC2-Classic platform, the Fn::GetAZs function returns all Availability Zones for a region. For the EC2-VPC platform, the Fn::GetAZs function returns only Availability Zones that have a default subnet unless none of the Availability Zones has a default subnet; in that case, all Availability Zones are returned.
                
                Similarly to the response from the describe-availability-zones AWS CLI command, the order of the results from the Fn::GetAZs function is not guaranteed and can change when new Availability Zones are added.
        
        IAM permissions

            The permissions that you need in order to use the Fn::GetAZs function depend on the platform in which you're launching Amazon EC2 instances. For both platforms, you need permissions to the Amazon EC2 DescribeAvailabilityZones and DescribeAccountAttributes actions. For EC2-VPC, you also need permissions to the Amazon EC2 DescribeSubnets action.

    .PARAMETER Region
        The name of the region for which you want to get the Availability Zones.

        You can use the AWS::Region pseudo parameter to specify the region in which the stack is created. Specifying an empty string is equivalent to specifying AWS::Region.

        This is not required. If you would like to default this to the stack deployment region, simply exclude this parameter and call the function by itself.

    .EXAMPLE
        Add-FnImportValue -ValueToImport (Add-FnSub -String "`${NetworkStackNameParameter}-SubnetID")

        When the template is exported, this will convert to: {"Fn::ImportValue":{"Fn::Sub":"${NetworkStackNameParameter}-SubnetID"}}

    .NOTES
        You can use the Ref function in the Fn::GetAZs function.
