AWS Secret Value - C# .NET Framework 4.8 - Unable to get IAM security credentials from EC2 Instance Metadata Service

Question

Hello, 
I'm trying to retrieve AWS Secret Value inside my .NET C# (.NET Framework 4.8) Application hosted on IIS in a EC2 instance like in the example showed here:
 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/retrieving-secrets_cache-net.html

The exception I receive is the following:
Exception Details: Amazon.Runtime.AmazonServiceException: Unable to get IAM security credentials from EC2 Instance Metadata Service.

If I try to execute the command from CLI, the secret's are retrieved successfully.

Can someone help please ?
