Enable kdevops to quickly pick up new regions and availability zones whenever they are introduced by AWS. The regions that are discovered and output by this script are those that the user has opted-in or are "no opt-in required". boto3 reuses connections to the API endpoint, making the generation of the Kconfig menu quick. Jinja2 lets us manage a large amount of bespoke Kconfig help text painlessly. The new script reports some basic authentication issues and has a "raw" output to enable troubleshooting. This implementation is still missing geographic location information that is retrieved via the 'pricing' API. IMO that can be introduced later. To use: $ terraform/aws/scripts/gen_kconfig_location > terraform/aws/kconfigs/Kconfig.location Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
The generated version has the same number of regions -- all of the regions that do not require opt-in were already included. However the number of availability zones has increased for many regions. The script picks these up automatically. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

The generated version has many more families. The TARGET_ARCH_* Kconfig settings controls which families and types show up in the menu. New family choices include more cost-effective types like t1, t2, and t3, as well as all of the GPU-enabled instance types. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Enable kdevops to quickly pick up new Linux distributions whenever
they are introduced by AWS or in the marketplace.

Series adds three Python scripts (and related files) that construct some of the Kconfig menus for configuring the use of the AWS cloud provider. In addition, the newly-rebuilt menus are committed as part of this series.
The new scripts use the AWS API to retrieve up-to-the-minute configuration information for region/availability zones, instance families and types, and Linux AMIs. This augments the set of resources that were already in place in the hand-generated menus, and gives a simple way to regenerate these menus at any time.
The new scripts can be triggered by make targets (not included here) or run manually.
