I'm total beginner trying to learn AWS via an online course.
In AWS console I have created a Cloud9 environment and in Cloud9 terminal I try to get a list meta-data with curl but I get no result.
User:~/environment $ curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data
User:~/environment $
I was hoping to get a list of meta-data but there is no result.
Does anyone have any suggestion what I have done wrong?
It sounds like the instance has been launched using Instance Metadata Service v2 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. This has a more complicated calling method.
If you change it back to v1 it should work as expected.
From Modify instance metadata options for existing instances - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud:
- Select the instance
- Choose Actions, Instance settings, Modify instance metadata options.
