Amazon Machine Images now support Instance Metadata Service Version 2 by default
You can now set an EC2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to use Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) by default. IMDSv2 is an enhancement to instance metadata access that requires session-oriented requests to add defense in depth against unauthorized metadata access. IMDSv2 requires a PUT request to initiate a session to the instance metadata service and retrieve a token. To set your instances as IMDSv2-only, you previously had to configure Instance Metadata Options during instance launch or update your instance after launch using the ModifyInstanceMetadataOptions API.

AWS customers have been using Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS to run and optimize their Microsoft Windows Server workloads. ECS and EKS-optimized Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for Windows Server have traditionally leveraged Mirantis Container Runtime (formerly Docker Engine – Enterprise) as the default runtime framework. AWS has now migrated all the latest (September 2022) container-optimized Windows Server AMIs to use Docker Community Edition (CE). This change is to help customers avoid additional costs to get support, bug fixes and security patches for Mirantis Container Runtime with the Microsoft announcement to transfer support for Mirantis Container Runtime to Mirantis at the end of September 2022.
