Hello, would it be possible to make the OL8 images, that are available in the AWS, UEFI ready. I'm not able to boot them as UEFI since they are missing the uefi boot method option for the AMI.
[cloudshell-user@ip-10-2-38-115 ~]$ aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --image-id ami-02a7419f257858fad

There is a missing "BootMode". If the OS in AWS is ready for UEFI, can you please set the BootMode to “uefi-preferred”?
Would it be possible to make OL8 ready for UEFI in AWS?
