InstanceIdentity - AWS Data Pipeline

InstanceIdentity

Identity information for the EC2 instance that is hosting the task runner. You can get this value by calling a metadata URI from the EC2 instance.

Passing in this value proves that your task runner is running on an EC2 instance, and ensures the proper AWS Data Pipeline service charges are applied to your pipeline.
