Description
With the implementation of #2744 EKS-A now depends on both govmomi and govc, a CLI tool derived from the govmomi vSphere client.
We should reconcile these dependencies so we only rely on one.
One option is to convert all our govc calls to govmomi calls.
Another is to open a PR in to the [govmomi project](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi) and add the functionality we need to the govc CLI.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the implementation of #2744 and inventorying EKS-A's govmomi and govc usage; compare converting govc calls with adding the needed functionality upstream. Done means EKS-A relies on one dependency while retaining the required functionality.
