Announcing Updates to Amazon EC2 Instance Metadata Service
We’ve introduced an enhancement for instance metadata access requests that adds defense in depth against unauthorized metadata access. You can configure the instance metadata service to require this feature on both new and running instances. Additionally, you can choose to turn off access to instance metadata altogether.
