Modify Instance Metadata Defaults

ec2_modify_instance_metadata_defaults R Documentation

Modifies the default instance metadata service (IMDS) settings at the account level in the specified Amazon Web Services Region

Description

Modifies the default instance metadata service (IMDS) settings at the account level in the specified Amazon Web Services Region.

To remove a parameter's account-level default setting, specify no-preference. If an account-level setting is cleared with no-preference, then the instance launch considers the other instance metadata settings. For more information, see Order of precedence for instance metadata options in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Usage

ec2_modify_instance_metadata_defaults(HttpTokens,
  HttpPutResponseHopLimit, HttpEndpoint, InstanceMetadataTags, DryRun)

Arguments

HttpTokens

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

The maximum number of hops that the metadata token can travel. To indicate no preference, specify -1.

Possible values: Integers from 1 to 64, and -1 to indicate no preference

HttpEndpoint

Enables or disables the IMDS endpoint on an instance. When disabled, the instance metadata can't be accessed.

InstanceMetadataTags

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

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.

Value

A list with the following syntax: 

list(
  Return = TRUE|FALSE
)
