- revise timeout for curl checks against instance metadata (Thanks @jmorten)
- curl timeout now respects the AWS_METADATA_SERVICE_TIMEOUT environment variable (like boto3)
- Added new functions:
is_ecs()
to check whether R is running in an Elastic Container Store (ECS) instance, and ecs_metadata()
to retrieve credentials from the container. (#2, h/t @jon-mago)
- Now supports querying ECS task role
- Previous
.onLoad()
functionality added in 0.1.3 is now moved to .onAttach()
to comply with CRAN policy.
- Added a function
instance_document()
that returns a list of the “instance identity document” information. This is useful for identifying the region an instance is running in.
- When the package is loaded on an EC2 instance (as identified by
is_ec2()
during package load), the package attempts to set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
environment variable if it has not already been specified. This helps handle request signing.
- Added a function
is_ec2()
that returns a logical based on whether metadata is retrievable.
