This condition would let SEV-SNP n2d machines to be configured with OnHostMaintenance: Migrate. However, that is not supported by GCP.

Could you rewrite the condition so this configuration is only accepted for AMD-SEV? (i.e. providerSpec.ConfidentialCompute == Enabled OR AMDEncryptedVirtualization)

OK i see
Need this test to fail
