Overview ▾

Package ec2metadata provides the client for making API calls to the EC2 Metadata service.

This package's client can be disabled completely by setting the environment variable "AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED=true". This environment variable set to true instructs the SDK to disable the EC2 Metadata client. The client cannot be used while the environment variable is set to true, (case insensitive).

The endpoint of the EC2 IMDS client can be configured via the environment variable, AWS_EC2_METADATA_SERVICE_ENDPOINT when creating the client with a Session. See aws/session#Options.EC2IMDSEndpoint for more details.

Constants

An EC2InstanceIdentityDocument provides the shape for unmarshaling an instance identity document

type EC2Metadata

type EC2Metadata struct {
    *client.Client
}

A EC2Metadata is an EC2 Metadata service Client.

func New

func New(p client.ConfigProvider, cfgs ...*aws.Config) *EC2Metadata

New creates a new instance of the EC2Metadata client with a session. This client is safe to use across multiple goroutines.

Example:

// Create a EC2Metadata client from just a session.
svc := ec2metadata.New(mySession)

// Create a EC2Metadata client with additional configuration
svc := ec2metadata.New(mySession, aws.NewConfig().WithLogLevel(aws.LogDebugHTTPBody))

func NewClient

func NewClient(cfg aws.Config, handlers request.Handlers, endpoint, signingRegion string, opts ...func(*client.Client)) *EC2Metadata

NewClient returns a new EC2Metadata client. Should be used to create a client when not using a session. Generally using just New with a session is preferred.

Will remove the URL path from the endpoint provided to ensure the EC2 IMDS client is able to communicate with the EC2 IMDS API.

If an unmodified HTTP client is provided from the stdlib default, or no client the EC2RoleProvider's EC2Metadata HTTP client's timeout will be shortened. To disable this set Config.EC2MetadataDisableTimeoutOverride to false. Enabled by default.

func (*EC2Metadata) Available

func (c *EC2Metadata) Available() bool

Available returns if the application has access to the EC2 Metadata service. Can be used to determine if application is running within an EC2 Instance and the metadata service is available.

func (*EC2Metadata) AvailableWithContext

func (c *EC2Metadata) AvailableWithContext(ctx aws.Context) bool

AvailableWithContext returns if the application has access to the EC2 Metadata service. Can be used to determine if application is running within an EC2 Instance and the metadata service is available.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetDynamicData

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetDynamicData(p string) (string, error)

GetDynamicData uses the path provided to request information from the EC2 instance metadata service for dynamic data. The content will be returned as a string, or error if the request failed.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetDynamicDataWithContext

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetDynamicDataWithContext(ctx aws.Context, p string) (string, error)

GetDynamicDataWithContext uses the path provided to request information from the EC2 instance metadata service for dynamic data. The content will be returned as a string, or error if the request failed.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetInstanceIdentityDocument

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetInstanceIdentityDocument() (EC2InstanceIdentityDocument, error)

GetInstanceIdentityDocument retrieves an identity document describing an instance. Error is returned if the request fails or is unable to parse the response.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetInstanceIdentityDocumentWithContext

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetInstanceIdentityDocumentWithContext(ctx aws.Context) (EC2InstanceIdentityDocument, error)

GetInstanceIdentityDocumentWithContext retrieves an identity document describing an instance. Error is returned if the request fails or is unable to parse the response.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetMetadata

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetMetadata(p string) (string, error)

GetMetadata uses the path provided to request information from the EC2 instance metadata service. The content will be returned as a string, or error if the request failed.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetMetadataWithContext

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetMetadataWithContext(ctx aws.Context, p string) (string, error)

GetMetadataWithContext uses the path provided to request information from the EC2 instance metadata service. The content will be returned as a string, or error if the request failed.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetUserData

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetUserData() (string, error)

GetUserData returns the userdata that was configured for the service. If there is no user-data setup for the EC2 instance a "NotFoundError" error code will be returned.

func (*EC2Metadata) GetUserDataWithContext

func (c *EC2Metadata) GetUserDataWithContext(ctx aws.Context) (string, error)

GetUserDataWithContext returns the userdata that was configured for the service. If there is no user-data setup for the EC2 instance a "NotFoundError" error code will be returned.

func (*EC2Metadata) IAMInfo

func (c *EC2Metadata) IAMInfo() (EC2IAMInfo, error)

IAMInfo retrieves IAM info from the metadata API

func (*EC2Metadata) IAMInfoWithContext

func (c *EC2Metadata) IAMInfoWithContext(ctx aws.Context) (EC2IAMInfo, error)

IAMInfoWithContext retrieves IAM info from the metadata API

func (*EC2Metadata) Region

func (c *EC2Metadata) Region() (string, error)

Region returns the region the instance is running in.

func (*EC2Metadata) RegionWithContext

func (c *EC2Metadata) RegionWithContext(ctx aws.Context) (string, error)

RegionWithContext returns the region the instance is running in.
