Description

SequenceServer shows private IP and URL of an EC2 instance on startup. I wonder if it is possible for it to be more accurate here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how SequenceServer currently detects IP/hostname and explore AWS EC2 metadata service to reliably retrieve public IP and hostname.
