### Regions
By default Prowler scans all opt-in regions available, that might take a long execution time depending on the number of resources and regions used. Same applies for GovCloud or China regions. See below Advance usage for examples.
Prowler has to parameters related to regions: `-r` that is used query AWS services API endpoints (it uses `us-east-1` by default and required for GovCloud or China) and the option `-f` that is to filter those regions you only want to scan. For example if you want to scan Dublin only use `-f eu-west-1` and if you want to scan Dublin and Ohio `-f 'eu-west-1 us-east-s'`, note the single quotes and space between regions.
