Week of 1–8 November 2026
A security-heavy week for EC2: IMDSv1 finally gets a metric, AMIs get scanned before launch, and Capacity Manager learns to say whether your request will land.
Do this week
- Put an alarm on the new ImdsV1Enabled metric, then set IMDSv2-required defaults at the account level.
- Turn on Inspector AMI scanning and run Allowed AMIs in audit mode before enforcing it.
- Add data types to the Parameter Store values your EC2 bootstrap depends on.
- Enable automatic CRL checking on IAM Roles Anywhere trust anchors for hybrid servers.
