The plugin provides a hosts provider for zen discovery named ec2. This hosts provider finds other Elasticsearch instances in EC2 through AWS metadata. Authentication is done using IAM Role credentials by default. To enable the plugin, set the unicast host provider for Zen discovery to ec2:

discovery.zen.hosts_provider: ec2
