This is a tracking bug for Change: Register EC2 Cloud Images with IMDSv2-only AMI flag
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CloudEC2IMDSv2Only

In November 2019, AWS launched IMDSv2 (Instance Meta-Data Store version 2 - see https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/defense-in-depth-open-firewalls-reverse-proxies-ssrf-vulnerabilities-ec2-instance-metadata-service/ ) which provides "belt and suspenders" protections for four types of vulnerabilities that could be used to try to access the Instance Meta-Data Store available to EC2 instances. In that announcement, AWS recommended adopting IMDSv2 and restricting access to IMDSv2 only for added security. This can be done at instance launch time, or (more recently in October 2022) by providing a flag when registering an AMI to indicate that the AMI should by default launch with IMDSv1 disabled, and thus require IMDSv2.
