And, will it support IMDS v2 for AWS EC2 instances?

The archive module supports this currently https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-archive#s3-bucket

Yes, I know but it requires awscli

There is a feature request to add this directly to the

file

resource https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4080 but there are no immediate plans.

Wow. That is old.

Not as old as PUP-146 😁

That is not a ringing endorsement.

The difficulty with adding s3 support to the file type/provider is that the file type is one of the oldest and most complicated type/provider implementations. And everyone depends on it. So the risk of regression is extremely high.

That leads me to ask if there are any plans to rewrite it in a future major release in an effort to reduce its complications.
