AWS storagegateway: Fix URL formatting in IMDSv2 documentation

Service: storagegateway · 2026-08-19 · Documentation low

File: storagegateway/latest/tgw/modify-ec2-instance-metadata.md

Summary

Corrected broken links in the IMDSv2 recommendation section.

Security assessment

The change only fixes URL syntax without altering security content; the existing IMDSv2 guidance remains unchanged.

Evidence

We recommend that you require IMDSv2 for all Amazon EC2 instances that host Storage Gateway. IMDSv2 is required by default on all newly launched gateway instances. If you have existing instances that are still configured to accept IMDSv1 metadata requests, see [Require the use of IMDSv2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/configuring-IMDS-existing-instances.html#modify-require-IMDSv2) in the _Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide_ for instructions to modify your instance metadata options to require the use of IMDSv2. Applying this change does not require an instance reboot.

-The instance metadata service (IMDS) is an on-instance component that provides secure access to Amazon EC2 instance metadata. An instance can be configured to accept incoming metadata requests that use IMDS Version 1 (IMDSv1) or require that all metadata requests use IMDS Version 2 (IMDSv2). IMDSv2 uses session-oriented requests and mitigates several types of vulnerabilities that could be used to try to access the IMDS. For information about IMDSv2, see [How Instance Metadata Service Version 2 works](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instance-metadata-v2-how-it-works.html) in the _Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide_.
