How to Retrieve Metadata of AWS EC2 Machine?
Metadata is data about your EC2 instance that is used to manage and configure the instance. Developers use the metadata in the script in order to configure the instances and their resources.
Please login to your EC2 machine and run the following command:
# curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data
Curl command will retrieve the information associated with your EC2 machine, check the below image.
