We have ITOM DBs deployed on older Vertica versions using the Vertica AMI that was Amazon Linux version 2. The https://docs.vertica.com/24.3.x/en/supported-platforms/server-and-mc/ only say Amazon Linux 2023 is supported, not version 2, and "Vertica does not support or recommend in-place upgrades from one major version to another major version".
So what do Vertica experts recommend to update vertica 12 to 24.3 on AWS?

Has no vertica expert updated Vertica 12 to 24 on AWS?
I tried to deploy a 24.x vertica AMI in the same VPC thinking maybe I could use copycluster to move the existing 12 itomdb to the new system, but I can't get vbr copycluster to work because ssh and scp require the -i parameter (keys) and vbr aborts "Error: Error getting cluster information from admintools."
