Changes in version 0.1.3 - Added a function instance_document() that returns a list of the "instance identity document" information. This is useful for identifying the region an instance is running in. - When the package is loaded on an EC2 instance (as identified by is_ec2() during package load), the package attempts to set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable if it has not already been specified. This helps handle request signing. Changes in version 0.1.2 (2017-06-30) - Added a function is_ec2() that returns a logical based on whether metadata is retrievable.
