How to Resolve Manually
This config rules checks if there is any EC2 instance running with 'paravirtual' Virtualization Type within your AWS account. The rule will be marked non-compliant if one instance of this type is found.
Check the following documentation to get a more detailed explanation of EC2 virtualization types.
To address this issue, generate an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of the existing instance, and then deploy it onto a newer virtual machine to replace the non-compliant instance.
For specific instance types, you may attempt to modify the type by navigating to the instance properties in the EC2 console and selecting Actions > Instance Settings > Change Instance Type.
