Description:

def optimize_providers(providers):
    '''
    Return an optimized list of providers.

    We want to reduce the duplication of querying
    the same region.

    If a provider is using the same credentials for the same region
    the same data will be returned for each provider, thus causing
    un-wanted duplicate data and API calls to EC2.
