IMDS, or Instance Metadata Service, is a service provided by cloud providers like AWS that allows instances (virtual machines) to retrieve information about themselves. This information includes instance ID, public keys, network information, security credentials (temporary IAM roles), and other configuration details. It is commonly used to configure applications running on the instance, to manage security credentials dynamically, and to automate tasks based on the instance's environment.
