Show warnings and gray-out the "Execute Action" button when there is a need to update Firmware before changing the AWS Instance Type

When Turbonomic recommends actions that involve changing to an instance type with a different hypervisor—for example, migrating from an M4 instance to an R6a instance, which requires a transition from a Xen-based hypervisor to a Nitro-based hypervisor—a firmware update is required as a prerequisite.

In such cases, when users attempt to execute these recommendations via the “Execute Action” function, Turbonomic should explicitly present this requirement as a key consideration. Furthermore, we request that appropriate controls be implemented, such as disabling (graying out) the action execution button when prerequisite steps (e.g., firmware updates) are necessary but not yet addressed.

This enhancement would help prevent unintended execution risks and ensure safer, more informed decision-making when applying recommended actions.
