Issue description:
To resolve issues where downloading dependencies caused failures in E2E workflows due to transient issues, we began running E2E workflows in a docker image container with those dependencies already installed in this PR.
As we started scaling our canary to encompass more platforms and regions however, the public ECR storing the image started throttling. Despite efforts to mitigate this throttle by increasing the API limit and also distributing the image to multiple public ECRs, the throttling still occurs and we are currently unable to determine the precise reason why.
After discussion, we have decided to revert from using image containers and explore other solutions to mitigate these transient issues such as caching.
Description of changes:
Stop using image containers in the github runners and add back the retry logic to install Terraform and other dependencies.
