How do I query an instance metadata from a process on Linode instance?

I want to be able to supply additional metadata to a launched instance on Linode and then query it from the process running on the instance. Also is there a way to get a cryptographically signed document like AWS IID to assert a Linode instance identity to an external service?

See: https://www.linode.com/docs/api/linode-instances/

Dunno. You could always use a SHA-256 hash of info you CAN get as your IID…but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for.
