Support availability zones in Failover

[JeffGiroux]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes, BIG-IPs are deployed to same availability zone and this reduces physical redundancy.

Describe the solution you'd like

User would like to deploy BIG-IP to two different availability zones. This will require an additional zone parameter where the 2nd BIG-IP will be deployed to the second zone.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now in current template form, user must edit the python script file to adjust for a second zone and/or modify the yaml file to pass an additional zone parameter into python file...both requiring edits.

Additional context

BIG-IP deployment should follow cloud best practices and CSP recommended guidance for SLAs and HA. This results in BIG-IP needing to be deployed to multiple AZs.

Is this going to make the next release (zone selection per BIG-IP VM instance)? If not, what is estimated time? Tnhx
