Automatically pull the latest image that matches the current parameters from AWS Marketplace

Package Merge Request

Package Changes

This MR uses the AWS API to pull the latest AMI for Ubuntu 22.04 (AMD64), which is what we are currently using for dev clusters. The AMI in use was from September 2022, and there were several security patches introduced. While we could have gone and updated the AMI ID, this will ensure that we are always using the most recent one.

I generally like the idea of auto-updating. Is there any risk in this do you think @kevin.wilder ? I think we're pretty safe since its tied to a specific Ubuntu version commands and such shouldn't break with updates.

I am hearing reports that this change to query for AMI image is causing issues for some users. Could be something related to querying for an image rather than any specific AMI ID. I can't reproduce any problem. Might have to roll it back. Wait and see.

What's the error message that we are seeing?
