Unable to get instance metadata in Azure Stack VM Instance

In any Azure instance I can easily fetch instance meta data from IMDS urls like below-

curl -H 'Metadata: true' http://169.254.169.254/metadata/instance?api-version=2017-12-01&format=text

But when I am trying the same from Azure Stack, I am getting following error in response of every metadata url request-

Error Response: {"Message":"Error in config data"}

How can I get information like VM Id, Container Id, Resource Group Name etc. in Azure Stack Instance?

Solution

  • Azure Stack doesn't support Azure Instance Metadata Service.
