<p>Set to <code>v2.0</code> to indicate that IMDSv2 is specified in the AMI. Instances launched from this AMI will have <code>HttpTokens</code> automatically set to <code>required</code> so that, by default, the instance requires that IMDSv2 is used when requesting instance metadata. In addition, <code>HttpPutResponseHopLimit</code> is set to <code>2</code>. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/configuring-IMDS-new-instances.html#configure-IMDS-new-instances-ami-configuration">Configure the AMI</a> in the <i>Amazon EC2 User Guide</i>.</p> <important> <p>Do not use this parameter unless your AMI software supports IMDSv2. After you set the value to <code>v2.0</code>, you can't undo it. The only way to “reset” your AMI is to create a new AMI from the underlying snapshot.</p> </important>
