    description:
    - The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
      environment variable, if any, is used. See U(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region)

      for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL
      environment variable, if any, is used.
    type: str

filters:
    description:
    - An alternative to using vpn_connection_id. If multiple matches are found, vpn_connection_id
      is required. If one of the following suboptions is a list of items to filter by,
      only one item needs to match to find the VPN that correlates. e.g. if the filter
      'cidr' is ['194.168.2.0/24', '192.168.2.0/24'] and the VPN route only has the destination
      cidr block of '192.168.2.0/24' it will be found with this filter (assuming there
      are not multiple VPNs that are matched). Another example, if the filter 'vpn' is
      equal to ['vpn-ccf7e7ad', 'vpn-cb0ae2a2'] and one of of the VPNs has the state deleted
      (exists but is unmodifiable) and the other exists and is not deleted, it will be
      found via this filter. See examples.
