Lookup images on AWS dynamically #691

Open adamtagscherer opened 11 months ago

adamtagscherer commented 11 months ago

Problem Statement

Currently in the AWS cfn installer the AMI images are hardwired into the template from which the scanner VMs are populated. It is suboptimal because every time a new version comes out of Ubuntu LTS we have to manually update it. Also it does not support ARM based scanner images, only AMD based ones.

Proposed Solution

My proposed solution is to remove the hardwired images from the template and do it in runtime from the Go code based on the circumstances, so always pull the LTS images with the proper architecture.

Additional Context

There is a PR opened in this topic, but it is stale for a long time. https://github.com/openclarity/vmclarity/pull/407
