Bug 1631878

Version is 6.3

Foreman compute resources uses fog-aws as the client to EC2. This is where the flavors are defined. Even in upstream, there are missing instance types (m5d, t3, etc).

https://github.com/fog/fog-aws

As you can see[1] the more modern instance types are not listed.

1: https://github.com/fog/fog-aws/blob/master/lib/fog/aws/models/compute/flavors.rb

Description of problem:

While creating the host using hammer command, cu can able to specify any flavor using the compute-attributes argument

hammer host create --compute-attributes="flavor_id=t3.micro"

But some of the AWS instances (like t3 instances) are not available on the Satellite WEBUI.

Satellite Version - 6.5.1

I'm not sure what I should check here. Only the flavors that are mentioned here? Or check that flavors offered in Satellite match those accessible in AWS (through WebUI for example)?

Because they don't. For example, r6gd.xlarge is only on web and g3dn.xlarge is only on Satellite.

That even means it's possible to select a flavor that is not on the AWS at all, leading to error:
```
Unable to save
Failed to create a compute ec2-4 (us-west-2-EC2) instance adam-mcgown.hpe2.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com: InvalidParameterValue => Invalid value 'g3dn.xlarge' for InstanceType.
```

Setting to failed as this doesn't seem fixed to me. Please let me know if you insist on just verifying the flavors mentioned here, in that case I'll report a new BZ.

Yes, I can confirm this still happens on 6.11. There are flavors listed in Satellite which I can't see in AWS and there are flavors in AWS which I can't see on Satellite. The difference is huge, there are 557 flavors on AWS and 276 on Satellite, plus bear in mind some of those are not common in these two sets. I think this problem will last as long as the flavors are hardcoded in fog-aws. Attaching the current list of flavors available on AWS (note that some of them are greyed-out in  AWS WebUI - however, there are some that are not greyed out and are missing in Satellite) and Satellite.
