AWS Elastic Beanstalk adds support for IMDSv2 and Service Linked Role for Managed Updates

Posted on: Jun 10, 2020

Support for IMDSv2
AWS Elastic Beanstalk now supports IMDSv2, an on-instance component to securely access instance metadata. IMDSv2 comes with many enhancements, including support for session-oriented requests. Learn more about the IMDSV2 enhancements in this blog post. For an overview, see the Release Notes. To learn about configuring the instance metadata service in your Elastic Beanstalk environments, see IMDS in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.

Service-Linked Role for Managed Updates
You can now use the Elastic Beanstalk Managed Updates Service-Linked role to add the permissions required to use the Managed Updates feature in your Elastic Beanstalk environment through a role managed by the Elastic Beanstalk service. This ensures that your environment will always have the right permissions to perform Managed Updates. For an overview, see the Release Notes. To learn more about adding the Managed Updates Service-Linked role to your Elastic Beanstalk environment, see Service roles in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
