Migrate_enterprise_to_eon is making unauthorised call to internet

Hi,
Trying to run migrate_enterprise_to_eon with S3 on premises... see this in adminTools.log:

grep 169.254.169.254 adminTools.log

169.254.169.254 is on internet.

I am not sure this is a good practice. I do not expect Vertica to make unauthorised call to internet.

Thank you
Sergey

    169.254.169.254 is in AWS a direct link to the EC2 instances metadata. 169.254.0.0/16 is an RFC 1918 network.
