Description
Auto Scaling group is a logical grouping of instances for the purposes of automatic scaling and management. IMDS provides data about your instance that you can use to configure or manage the running instance. Version 2 of the IMDS adds new protections that weren't available in IMDSv1 to further safeguard your EC2 instances. It was detected that the Auto Scaling group {AwsAsg} has an EC2 instance with Metadata Service (IMDS) version that is not included in the launch configuration or that both IMDSv1 and IMDSv2 are enabled.
