Improved Compatibility for Nested Virtualization with SLES 12

Some guest kernels on AWS AMIs using xz-compressed initial ramdisks (initrd) were failing to boot due to unsupported compression.

Users leveraging SLES 12-based AMIs can now boot nested environments seamlessly.

Optimized Fulfillment Timeout for Spot Instances

Aggressive fulfillment timeouts were causing unnecessary pauses in spot instance usage, forcing a fallback to on-demand instances more often than needed.

Adjusted timeout parameters to strike a better balance, reducing interruptions and ensuring smoother operations, improved reliability and cost efficiency, particularly for high-frequency workloads.
