The EC2 image module no longer fetches instance metadata in
stage-1. This results in a significantly smaller initramfs,
since network drivers no longer need to be included, and
faster boots, since metadata fetching can happen in parallel
with startup of other services. This breaks services which
rely on metadata being present by the time stage-2 is entered.
Anything which reads EC2 metadata from
<literal>/etc/ec2-metadata</literal> should now have an
<literal>after</literal> dependency on
<literal>fetch-ec2-metadata.service</literal>
</para>

<para>
The EC2 image module previously detected and automatically
mounted ext3-formatted instance store devices and partitions
in stage-1 (initramfs), storing <literal>/tmp</literal> on the
first discovered device. This behaviour, which only catered to
very specific use cases and could not be disabled, has been
removed. Users relying on this should provide their own
implementation, and probably use ext4 and perform the mount in
stage-2.

The EC2 image module previously detected and activated
swap-formatted instance store devices and partitions in
stage-1 (initramfs). This behaviour has been removed. Users
relying on this should provide their own implementation.
