AWS documentdb documentation change

Service: documentdb · 2025-03-26 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/security.encryption.ssl.md

Summary

Updated CLI command examples and parameter descriptions for TLS configuration management. Added FIPS-140-3 enablement example, improved documentation links, and standardized placeholder values.

Security assessment

The changes add explicit documentation about enabling FIPS-140-3 TLS mode, which is a security feature. However, there is no evidence this addresses a specific vulnerability or incident.
