[Impact]
The new Amazon AWS C5 instance type is not a recognised VM type in
Landscape and thus won't allow use of a Virtual Guest asset to register
with.
The C5 instance type is a new type that uses a KVM-family hypervisor
instead of Xen (displaying "Amazon EC2" in sys_vendor which landscape-
client doesn't recognise, thus cannot associate/map to kvm)
"AWS has revealed it has created a new hypervisor based on KVM, not the
Xen hypervisor on which it has relied for years."
From
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/07/aws_writes_new_kvm_based_hypervisor_to_make_its_cloud_go_faster
[Test Case]
* Deploy an AWS C5 instance
* Look sys_vendor
$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor
Amazon EC2
* Install landscape-client
* Register the client to the desired landscape-server
- * Verify "VM Type" to be "kvm" under the computer info
+ * Verify "VM Type" to be "kvm" under the computer info (in landscape-server)
[Regression Potential]
* No regression anticipated, the fix is only adding a new entry mapping
to recognize C5 instance (Amazon EC2)
