Cloud AMIs to use IMDSv2

Status: Under Consideration

The AMI templates that LRE uses for Cloud LoadGenerator provisioning use IMDSv1.  We are running into an issue when using newer cloud security practices that require us to use IMDSv2 where these AMIs will not provision machines properly and will not interface with LoadRunner.

Linked is an AWS article outlining the benefits of IMDSv2:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/get-the-full-benefits-of-imdsv2-and-disable-imdsv1-across-your-aws-infrastructure/

We propose enhancing the LoadRunner product to utilize this recommended standard for the AMI templates.
