AWS Config Rule: Autoscaling Group Launch Config Hop Limit
AUTOSCALING_LAUNCH_CONFIG_HOP_LIMIT

Last Update 5 months ago
Description: Checks the number of network hops that the metadata token can travel. This rule is NON_COMPLIANT if the Metadata response hop limit is greater than 1.
Trigger type: Configuration changes
AWS Region: All supported AWS regions
How to Resolve Manually
This config rule checks that the value configured for "Metadata response hop limit" is set to 1. The rule will be marked as non-compliant if the value is greater than 1.
To resolve this, head on over to the EC2 service and then go to Auto Scaling groups > Launch configurations.
Since you can't directly edit a Launch Config, you may want to delete the non compliant one if not needed anymore or make a copy with the proper values by clicking on Copy launch configuration button.
