 The following arguments are supported:
 
-* `zone` (required) - Zone to list available cluster versions for. Should match the zone the cluster will be deployed in.
+* `zone` (optional) - Zone to list available cluster versions for. Should match the zone the cluster will be deployed in.
+    If not specified, the provider-level zone is used. One of zone, region, or provider-level zone is required.
+
+* `region` (optional) - Region to list available cluster versions for. Should match the region the cluster will be deployed in.
+    For regional clusters, this value must be specified and cannot be inferred from provider-level region. One of zone,

+
 * `project` (optional) - ID of the project to list available cluster versions for. Should match the project the cluster will be deployed to.
   Defaults to the project that the provider is authenticated with.
