Jira (FACT-2824) Facter make ec2 metadata requests when on gce

Issue Type:	Bug
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	2020/10/01 1:39 AM
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Bogdan Irimie

The ec2_metadata fact calls the EC2 resolver is it detects hypervisor as kvm, xen or aws. As there are many cloud providers that use kvm and xen as their hypervisors, the fact will call the EC2 resolver even on systems that are not EC2.
