Description

My use case is to allow me to easily SSH to instances inside of my private VPC using SSM Sessions. The biggest hurdle to getting this running is a different metadata url, as well as certian metadata items not being available in fargate, like InstanceId.

I've attached a dockerfile to make it easy to test.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached Dockerfile and tracing the agent's metadata and SSM session entry points. Identify where the alternate metadata URL and unavailable Fargate metadata are assumed, then verify that an SSM session can be established in Fargate without requiring InstanceId.
