It's a bit complicated.  I haven't tested if EC2 actually supports the
DNS-based approach, their documentation suggests to use the hard-coded
169.254.169.254 instead.  And you don't necessarily need code in the
hosting environment for that, you only need to configure a root zone
which has an A record a suitable delegation.
