AWS Snow Family now supports Instance Metadata Service Version 2 for Amazon EC2 instances on Snow
AWS Snow Family now supports Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) for Amazon EC2 instances on AWS Snowcone and AWS Snowball Edge devices. You can use AWS Snow Family devices to run storage, compute, and data-processing operations in locations with denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited connectivity. IMDSv2 is an enhancement to instance metadata access that requires session-oriented requests to add defense-in-depth against unauthorized metadata access. IMDSv2 requires a PUT request to initiate a session to the instance metadata service and retrieve a token.
