AWS SchemaConversionTool documentation change

Service: SchemaConversionTool · 2025-03-19 · Documentation low

File: SchemaConversionTool/latest/userguide/WhatsNew.md

Summary

Updated document title from 'New Features' to 'Document history' and corrected multiple internal documentation links. Fixed service name references (changed 'Amazon RDS' to 'Amazon Redshift' in several entries). Improved link text consistency for migration guides.

Security assessment

Changes focus on documentation structure, link corrections, and service name accuracy. The FIPS endpoint references remain unchanged except for link paths, which were already security-related but not newly added. No evidence of addressing vulnerabilities or new security content.
