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 (in landscape-server) [Regression Potential] * No regression anticipated, the fix is only adding a new entry mapping to recognize C5 instance (Amazon EC2) [Other Info] * Upstream commit: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/landscape-client/pull/22/files [Original Description] 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.
