Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

NPM version NPM downloads

This package provides utils to access EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3.

Usage

The basic usage of EC2 IMDS utils in the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 is as follows:

JavaScript example

const { MetadataService } = require("@aws-sdk/ec2-metadata-service");

const metadataService = new MetadataService({});
const token = await metadataService.fetchMetadataToken(); // fetches token explicitly
const metadata = await metadataService.request("/latest/meta-data/", {}); // request metadata from IMDSv2 (uses a token to make the request by default if `disableFetchToken` is not set to true)

ES6 example

import { MetadataService } from "@aws-sdk/ec2-metadata-service";

const metadataService = new MetadataService({});
const token = await metadataService.fetchMetadataToken(); // fetches token explicitly
const metadata = await metadataService.request("/latest/meta-data/", {}); // request metadata from IMDSv2 (uses a token to make the request by default if `disableFetchToken` is not set to true)

Notes

Note that by default, requests to IMDS are in accordance with IMDSv2.

Read more about Instance Metadata here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html

The @aws-sdk/ec2-metadata-service package is a standalone utility and not part of the default credential provider chain. If you want to use IMDS for credentials, you can use the fromInstanceMetadata() method.
