Warning
The v2.0 portion of this response will be removed in the T release. It is only advertised here because the v2.0 API supports the ec2tokens API until the T release. All other functionality of the v2.0 has been removed as of the Queens release. Use v3 for all functionality as it is more complete and secure.
