Selecting Availability Zone for RDS Read Replica

I wanted to create a read replica of an existing RDS instance via AWS Websites.

However, I don't see option for selecting Availability Zone.

How can I configure RDS read-replica for specific availability zone?

The console seems to use the default option and that's it. Which means a randon az in the region. You can create one in a specific Availability zone with aws cli.
The command to do it is

aws rds create-db-instance-read-replica \
    --db-instance-identifier myreadreplica \
    --source-db-instance-identifier mydbinstance \
    --availability-zone mychosenaz

You can add other options to the command as you like. More information can be found here.
