In order to see the security credentials, you must launch an instance with
iam role attached (--iam-instance-profile). Other wise they do not show up in
the metadata service.
Ubuntu cloud-init did not actually show this bug because it read and stored
a version of the metadata service (2009-04-04) that does not have the iam/
credentials.
This can be verified simply by
$ sudo python3 -c 'from cloudinit.stages import _pkl_load as pl; import pprint;
pprint.pprint(pl("/var/lib/cloud/instance/obj.pkl").metadata)'
{'ami-id': 'ami-78b7166e',

However, the get_instance_metadata() function would show the
credentials.
$ python3 -c 'from cloudinit import ec2_utils;
print(ec2_utils.get_instance_metadata("latest")["iam"])'
