v0.32.7 Failing MetadataOptions for IPv6 in ISO regions

[jlplasce]

Description

Observed Behavior:
When using Chart/App version 0.32.7 of Karpenter in ISO AWS regions , the metadataOptions on NodePools is resulting in an error of:
NodeClaim creating instance with errors: UnsupportedOperation specifying HttpProtocol Metadata Options for an instnace is not support in this region

We typically provide metadataOptions as

{
    http_endpoint = "enabled"
    http_tokens  = "optional"
    httpProtocolIPv6 = "disabled"
    http_put_response_hop_limit = 2         
    instance_metadata_tags  = "disabled"
}  

AWS Communication
AWS Support verified that IPv6 Metadata is disabled by default in one ISO region, but is not yet a property available in other regions, and therefor, even setting the property to "disabled" or "false" will result in errors as the endpoint/properties do not exist

Attempted Troubleshooting
The following attempted changes were made but none were successful:

• Completely remove any override metadataOptions and allow the chart defaults

metadataOptions = {}

• Set httpProtocolIPv6 to disabled

{
    http_endpoint = "enabled"
    http_tokens  = "optional"
    httpProtocolIPv6 = "disabled"
    http_put_response_hop_limit = 2         
    instance_metadata_tags  = "disabled"
} 

• Provide the above standard metadataOptions for all other settings, but remove any setting of httpProtocolIPv6

{
    http_endpoint = "enabled"
    http_tokens  = "optional"
    ## httpProtocolIPv6 = "disabled"
    http_put_response_hop_limit = 2         
    instance_metadata_tags  = "disabled"
} 

• Set httpProtocolIPv6 to null

{
    http_endpoint = "enabled"
    http_tokens  = "optional"
    httpProtocolIPv6 = null
    http_put_response_hop_limit = 2         
    instance_metadata_tags  = "disabled"
} 

Workaround
Reverting all the way back to v0.18.1 works successfully

Can you please share your nodePool spec? I would also recommend updating to v0.33 and above as with the release of Karpenter v1.0, we have dropped support for karpenter versions v0.32 and below.
