  • If AWS ec2 instance-id is not unique across multiple accounts ? then how can "identity-whitelist" will help me to restrict "disallow-reauthentication"? ( that means my requirement is not to allow an instance id to give more than one token)
  • How frequently AWS ec2 instance-id is reused ? i mean assume that an ec2 instance instance id is "i-abcd", got authenticated with aws-ec2 auth backend and got the token and then I have teardown that instance, now when i provision an ec2 instance, if it gets instance id as  i-abcd then how can we solve this without clearing "identity-whitelist" ?

Regards
KV
