Description

Please specify whether your issue is about:

  • a possible bug
  • a question about package functionality
  • a suggested code or documentation change, improvement to the code, or feature request

IMDS v2 requires that a token be requested prior to getting metadata. This should be a fairly simple fix - issue the token request prior to curling for the metadata. Thoughts?

Research direction

Start by tracing how the package currently curls EC2 instance metadata and review the existing issue discussion for constraints around IMDSv2. Implement the token request before metadata retrieval, then verify that metadata access still works with the required token flow.
