Blueprints for IMDS (AWS Instance Metadata)
Stop hardcoding server configurations. Blueprints for IMDS provides a direct, Blueprint-native bridge to the AWS Instance Metadata Service (IMDS), allowing your Unreal Engine dedicated servers to "know" exactly where they are running.
Whether you need to dynamically retrieve your server's Public IP, Instance ID, or Availability Zone for custom matchmaking or logging, this plugin gives you the data you need without writing a single line of C++.
🚀 Key Features
Direct IMDS Communication: Use specialized Blueprint nodes to query the AWS Instance Metadata Service directly from your dedicated server build.
Retrieve Vital Instance Data: Easily access critical cloud information, including:
Instance ID: Unique identifier for the EC2 instance.
Public & Private IP Addresses: Essential for custom networking and signaling.
Local & Public Hostnames: For internal and external routing.
Region & Availability Zone: Optimize logic based on geographic location.
Instance Type: Adjust server performance settings based on hardware specs.
IMDSv2 Compatible: Designed to support the latest security standards for AWS metadata retrieval.
Server-Side Optimization: Lightweight and efficient, ensuring no impact on your dedicated server’s tick rate.
🛠Why Use This Plugin?
Dynamic Server Logic: Automate your server registration by letting the server identify its own IP and Region at runtime.
Simplified Workflows: No more passing complex command-line arguments to your server instances; let the server query AWS directly.
No C++ Required: All metadata requests are fully exposed to Blueprints, making it accessible for technical designers and engineers alike.
