We are using repository-s3 plugin to create/restore snapshots in AWS S3. But the plugin does not support IMDSv2 metadata version.  
There is already an open issue to fix this. See below.

> Today we support \[IMDSv2\](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/co…nfiguring-instance-metadata-service.html) in the \`discovery-ec2\` plugin (see https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/84410) but \`repository-s3\` still only supports IMDSv1. Should we add IMDSv2 support to \`repository-s3\`?

Is there any update or timeline on this ?
