[Bug 1855616] Re: apport tries to hit ec2 metadata service if cloud-init is installed

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Chad pointed out in IRC that cloud-init query platform is the supported
way to get that information, but also that cloud-init query in general
can probably be the source for all this information, on clouds other
than EC2 as well.

Title:
  apport tries to hit ec2 metadata service if cloud-init is installed

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This probably made sense in 2012 but in focal all servers are going to
  have cloud-init installed. I *think* apport should consult "< /run
  /cloud-init/instance-data.json jq .v1.platform" but someone from
  server should probably check that.
