aws-metadata-server is a very simple AWS compatible meta-data / user-data server for local development. It does not support any kind of security and SHOULD NOT be run anywhere remotely publicly accessible. It's only meant to be run on a developers machine, preferable in a virtual machine with limited network scope.
- Build with
go build - Add the well known IP 169.254.169.254, e.g. with iproute2 (linux):
ip route add 169.254.169.254/32 dev eth0 - Start as root (so it can bind to Port 80, sorry):
sudo ./aws-metadata-server - Set the keys you need to their desired values, e.g.
curl -i -X POST -d 'us-east-1a' http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone
