Struct aws_config::imds::client::Client

pub struct Client { /* private fields */ }

IMDSv2 Client

Client for IMDSv2. This client handles fetching tokens, retrying on failure, and token caching according to the specified token TTL.

Note: This client ONLY supports IMDSv2. It will not fallback to IMDSv1. See transitioning to IMDSv2 for more information.

Client Configuration

The IMDS client can load configuration explicitly, via environment variables, or via ~/.aws/config. It will first attempt to resolve an endpoint override. If no endpoint override exists, it will attempt to resolve an EndpointMode. If no EndpointMode override exists, it will fallback to IpV4. An exhaustive list is below:

Endpoint configuration list

1. Explicit configuration of Endpoint via the builder:

use aws_config::imds::client::Client;
use http::Uri;
let client = Client::builder()
  .endpoint(Uri::from_static("http://customidms:456/"))
  .build()
  .await;

2. The AWS_EC2_METADATA_SERVICE_ENDPOINT environment variable. Note: If this environment variable is set, it MUST contain to a valid URI or client construction will fail.

3. The ec2_metadata_service_endpoint field in ~/.aws/config:

[default]
ec2_metadata_service_endpoint = http://my-custom-endpoint:444

4. An explicitly set endpoint mode:

use aws_config::imds::client::{Client, EndpointMode};
let client = Client::builder().endpoint_mode(EndpointMode::IpV6).build().await;

5. An endpoint mode loaded from the AWS_EC2_METADATA_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_MODE environment variable. Valid values: IPv4, IPv6

6. An endpoint mode loaded from the ec2_metadata_service_endpoint_mode field in ~/.aws/config:

[default]
ec2_metadata_service_endpoint_mode = IPv4

7. The default value of http://169.254.169.254 will be used.

Implementations

impl Client

pub fn builder() -> Builder

IMDS client builder

pub async fn get(&self, path: &str) -> Result<String, ImdsError>

Retrieve information from IMDS

This method will handle loading and caching a session token, combining the path with the configured IMDS endpoint, and retrying potential errors.

Examples

use aws_config::imds::client::Client;
let client = Client::builder().build().await.expect("valid client");
let ami_id = client
  .get("/latest/meta-data/ami-id")
  .await
  .expect("failure communicating with IMDS");

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Client

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
