I'd say your two options are:
a.) ignore the fact that this says 'ec2'. There are literally
thousands of lines of output on a linux console. Don't fret over one of
them listing a platform other than your own.
b.) drop it entirely.
option 'c' would be to change it to say "azure" when it is on azure.
That doesn't seem like it would help anyone, but only make it seem
like someone should pay attention to it.
