   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update provides fixes and enhancements for Amazon's EC2 utilities.

   python-ec2uploadimg (update to version 1.1.0):

   - Allow the specification of security groups to use for the helper
     instance.
   - Support the use of the private IP of the helper instance for image
     uploading.
   - Add command line option to launch the helper instance into a specific
     VPC.
   - Add consistency check: When using root swap, the image used to launch
     the helper instance must be of the same virtualization type as the
     target image.
   - Convert to use boto3. This introduces some incompatible changes:
     - Remove --timeout command line option.
     - Add --ssh-timeout command line option.
     - Add --wait-count command line option.

   python-ec2publishimg (update to version 1.1.0):

   - New command line option --allow-copy that shares the underlying snapshot
     with the target account to allow copying of the image. (bsc#973107)
   - Convert to boto3.

   python-ec2utilsbase (update to version 2.0.1):

   - Convert to boto3. This introduces some incompatible changes:
     - Function get_regions() has new required arguments.
     - Return data structures changed due to switch to boto3.

   python-ec2deprecateimg (update to version 3.0.0):

   - Convert to boto3.
