…E-9173) kairos-init installs the VMware guest agent (open-vm-tools) for the SUSE family but not for Debian/Ubuntu. Without vmtoolsd, vSphere reports blank IP Addresses / DNS Name for the guest. PR #682 fixed this on the non-FIPS core path (kairosify Dockerfile) and the 20.04 / 24.04 FIPS Dockerfiles already carry open-vm-tools, but the 22.04 FIPS Dockerfile was missed — so ubuntu22-fips alone still shows blank IP/DNS in vCenter. Add open-vm-tools to the 22.04 FIPS apt install list, matching the 24.04 sibling. It is not a cryptographic module, so it has no FIPS impact.

The package ships its ownopen-vm-tools.serviceunit (gated on VMware virtualization), so it is inert on bare-metal / KVM.Test plan
