Instance Metadata Service For AWS
The Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) is used to access instance metadata from an Amazon EC2 instance. The Multicloud Defense Controller version 23.10 sets up IMDSv2 to be Required or Optional depending on the corresponding Multicloud Defense Gateway version.
We strongly recommend upgrading to a Multicloud Defense Gateway version that specifically supports IMDSv2 in the Required mode for optimal security with Amazon EC2 instances.
Note | The Multicloud Defense Controller version 23.10 forces Multicloud Defense Gateway versions 23.04 and later to default to IMDSv2 for EC2 instances. |
Use the table below to determine which IMDS version will be setup inside the EC2 instance for your environment:
|
