According to Amazon advisory, fixes have been applied and "no customer
action is required at the Infrastructure level". Reading from other
sources [1], I can only conclude that Amazon has not provided the knobs
needed to do the mitigation. This explains the issue for MDS and TAA.
SSB is likely vulnerable for the same reasons, but I'll look for their
advisory and update it here. Same thing for ITLB multihit.

One possible avenue of investigation is verifying if VERW is being used
and providing the mitigation for the MDS case.

Regards.
Cascardo.
