Allow running puppet commands via AWS Session Manager on Windows Server 2019

Melissa Amos The issue is with a component of the Puppet agent installer and is not specific to PE. It has PE versions associated because the tickets we've caught on it are against PE installations. I've added the equivalent Puppet versions to the Affects Version/s field.

Puppet agent supports being installed on EC2 nodes:

we document EC2 requirements for PE masters: https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2019.8/hardware_requirements.html#platform:-amazon-ec2
we have built-in ec2-specific facts relevant only when run from EC2 hosts and which exist in both OSP and PE, and we document settings for managing them: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6.17/configuring_facter.html

Change By:	Garrett Guillotte
Affects Version/s:	PUP 6.16.0
Affects Version/s:	PUP 6.10.1
Summary:	Unable to run Allow running puppet commands via AWS Session Manager on Windows Server 2019

Thanks for the explanation, Garrett Guillotte. Sounds like this should go in Puppet release notes. cc: Claire Cadman

Re: Allow running puppet commands via AWS Session Manager on Windows Server 2019

Also want to mention puppet on windows has always had this issue (since 2.7.12 at least). It's something about the AWS environment in which the puppet process is created that conflicts with assumptions made by the win32-dir gem.
