Hi @nmangalia,

Thanks for the issue. This one may need more than a simple boolean to enable secure-boot, not sure when we'll be able to support it since it'll take a bit of digging before we can implement the feature.

I'll transfer the issue over to the AWS plugin for the moment, since this is where the changes will need to happen.
