> That says "check the instance identity document, including its signature".
IIUC wget is not doing that. In order to verify the instance metadata returned 
by http://169.254.169.254/ we'd need to perform the steps outlined here:


https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instance-identity-documents.html

Verifying metadata signatures here seems like an overkill to me. This patch 
makes the assumption that if http://169.254.169.254/ is reachable then it's 
reasonable to assume that we're in an ec2 instance.

we're just using /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/ as a documented url 
endpoint.
