response = client.modify_instance_metadata_defaults(
    HttpTokens='optional'|'required'|'no-preference',
    HttpPutResponseHopLimit=123,
    HttpEndpoint='disabled'|'enabled'|'no-preference',
    InstanceMetadataTags='disabled'|'enabled'|'no-preference',
    DryRun=True|False
)
Parameters:

  • HttpTokens (string) –

    Indicates whether IMDSv2 is required.

    • optional – IMDSv2 is optional, which means that you can use either IMDSv2 or IMDSv1.

    • required – IMDSv2 is required, which means that IMDSv1 is disabled, and you must use IMDSv2.

  • HttpPutResponseHopLimit (integer) –

    The maximum number of hops that the metadata token can travel.

    Minimum: 1

    Maximum: 64

  • HttpEndpoint (string) – Enables or disables the IMDS endpoint on an instance. When disabled, the instance metadata can’t be accessed.

  • InstanceMetadataTags (string) – Enables or disables access to an instance’s tags from the instance metadata. For more information, see Work with instance tags using the instance metadata in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

  • DryRun (boolean) – Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
