Description

**What would you like to be added**:

Currently the Snow Admin AMI is very large (50G). It takes more than 10 minutes to import the images. Some images are not used for provisioning snow cluster. For example,

- Provider controller images (capv, capc, capt, etc.)
- HA proxy?
- Bottlerocket images (not for GA)

Should we remove these images to decrease the admin AMI size?

**Why is this needed**:

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how the Snow Admin AMI is assembled, then identify which provider-controller, HAProxy, and Bottlerocket images are required for Snow cluster provisioning and define the target size and import-time reduction before deciding what is safe to remove.
