Hi @pritamvkulkarni, could you give us the output of lsb_release -a, uname -rs and cat /etc/*release please ? 🙂

Thanks, bye 👋

Upon primary investigation and tracing code flow, observed that script is reading this incorrect version from /etc/ec2_version file that is present on these instances. We may want to add this file in _DISTRO_RELEASE_IGNORE_BASENAMES after which it works as expected.

Unfortunately, I am not able to create a branch or a pull request, facing 403 forbidden. Can someone please grant me required permissions to create a branch and pull request on this repo?
