Self-Contained Changes

Deprecating aspell package because there are better-supported spell checkers like hunspell/enchant2 which could be used instead. It also has an upstream with almost 4 years of no action.

Fedora cloud instances now automatically reboot when a user requests package updates followed by a reboot on the first boot of the instance. The reboot only occurs if an updated package requires a reboot to go into effect (such as a kernel or critical system library).

In Amazon EC2, Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes can be one of several types. These can be specified at volume creation time, including for the default volumes that are created on instance launch. An AMI will have default volumes and volume types configured. Fedora currently defaults to the gp2 volume type. This proposal is to switch to gp3 as the default volume type for Fedora. The gp3 volume type is both more flexible than gp2, and can be up to 20% cheaper per GB.

In November 2019, AWS launched IMDSv2 (Instance Meta-Data Store version 2 - see https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/defense-in-depth-open-firewalls-reverse-proxies-ssrf-vulnerabilities-ec2-instance-metadata-service/ ) which provides "belt and suspenders" protections for four types of vulnerabilities that could be used to try to access the Instance Meta-Data Store available to EC2 instances. In that announcement, AWS recommended adopting IMDSv2 and restricting access to IMDSv2 only for added security. This can be done at instance launch time, or ([https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/10/amazon-machine-images-support-instance-metadata-service-version-2-default/ more recently in October 2022]) by providing a flag when registering an AMI to indicate that the AMI should by default launch with IMDSv1 disabled, and thus require IMDSv2.

By enabling this flag for Fedora, we provide a better security posture for Fedora users running in EC2.

When an AMI is registered for IMDSv2 it is still possible to launch instances with IMDSv1 enabled by providing the right option to the RunInstances EC2 API call. The flag merely switches the default.
