Splunk Add-on for AWS - aws_description_tasks endpoint?

When trying to enable aws_description_tasks, I'm finding it in the logs that it is erroring out due to 'Connection reset by peer', indicating that this is due to a firewall error in my network. I can ask the networking team to allow traffic from this endpoint, but I'm unsure as to what the url is.

Is there any way I can go about finding the endpoint or url that aws_description_tasks uses to grab metadata from AWS? Not sure if it's simply 169.254.169.254 but would like to know how I can go about finding the endpoints used by the different aws inputs.
