EC2.Instance.metadata_options
  • (dict) --

    The metadata options for the instance.

    • State (string) --

      The state of the metadata option changes.

      pending - The metadata options are being updated and the instance is not ready to process metadata traffic with the new selection.

      applied - The metadata options have been successfully applied on the instance.

    • HttpTokens (string) --

      IMDSv2 uses token-backed sessions. Indicates whether the use of HTTP tokens is optional (in other words, indicates whether the use of IMDSv2 is optional ) or required (in other words, indicates whether the use of IMDSv2 is required ).

      • optional - When IMDSv2 is optional, you can choose to retrieve instance metadata with or without a session token in your request. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials without a token, the IMDSv1 role credentials are returned. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials using a valid session token, the IMDSv2 role credentials are returned.
      • required - When IMDSv2 is required, you must send a session token with any instance metadata retrieval requests. In this state, retrieving the IAM role credentials always returns IMDSv2 credentials; IMDSv1 credentials are not available.

      Default: optional

    • HttpPutResponseHopLimit (integer) --
