List Regions Supported Kubernetes Clusters
List regions where Kubernetes clusters can be created on DigitalOcean.

doctl {{[k|kubernetes]}} {{[o|options]}} {{[r|regions]}} import subprocess
# List Regions Supported Kubernetes Clusters
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values
def run_command():
cmd = [
"doctl",
"k",
"o",
"r"
]
try:
print(f"Executing: {' '.join(cmd)}")
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
