Public bug reported: EC2 metadata[1] presents information regarding network devices (mac, name, etc) that would be useful to consume. Chiefly we could match the network device names surfaced in the EC2 UIs (eth0, eth2...) rather than using our own enumeration at boot.
A method to detemermine if we are on an instance in EC2 as been published[2] as part of their documentation so we can now do this in the EC2 datasource without impacting clouds that have copied that datasource. The work done for DO datasource[3] would be applicable here as a model.
