Also reference the docs from the `machine-config-operator` about
[hacking on the `machine-os-content`](https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/blob/master/docs/HACKING.md#hacking-on-machine-os-content)
which is the container image that houses the OS content that RHCOS nodes upgrade to.

## Q: How do I get RHCOS in a private EC2 region?

I am using a non-default AWS region such as GovCloud or AWS China, and when I try to import the AMI I see:

`EFI partition detected. UEFI booting is not supported in EC2.`

As of OpenShift 4.3, RHCOS has a unified BIOS/UEFI partition layout.

To work around this, use `aws ec2 import-snapshot` combined with `aws ec2 register-image` (instead of `aws ec2 import-image`).

In the future the OpenShift installer will likely have support for this.
