Options

--instance-name (string)

The name of the instance for which to update metadata parameters.

--http-tokens (string)

The state of token usage for your instance metadata requests. If the parameter is not specified in the request, the default state is optional .

If the state is optional , you can choose whether to retrieve instance metadata with a signed token header on your request. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials without a token, the version 1.0 role credentials are returned. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials by using a valid signed token, the version 2.0 role credentials are returned.

If the state is required , you must send a signed token header with all instance metadata retrieval requests. In this state, retrieving the IAM role credential always returns the version 2.0 credentials. The version 1.0 credentials are not available.

Possible values:

  • optional
  • required

--http-endpoint (string)

Enables or disables the HTTP metadata endpoint on your instances. If this parameter is not specified, the existing state is maintained.

If you specify a value of disabled , you cannot access your instance metadata.

Possible values:

  • disabled
  • enabled

--http-put-response-hop-limit (integer)

The desired HTTP PUT response hop limit for instance metadata requests. A larger number means that the instance metadata requests can travel farther. If no parameter is specified, the existing state is maintained.

--http-protocol-ipv6 (string)

Enables or disables the IPv6 endpoint for the instance metadata service. This setting applies only when the HTTP metadata endpoint is enabled.

Note

This parameter is available only for instances in the Europe (Stockholm) Amazon Web Services Region (eu-north-1 ).

Possible values:

  • disabled
  • enabled

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
