AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change

Service: AmazonCloudWatch · 2025-04-11 · Documentation low

File: AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Application-Signals-supportmatrix.md

Summary

Added OpenTelemetry compatibility section, updated documentation structure, fixed broken links, and modified known issues content regarding Java SDK version recommendations

Security assessment

The changes primarily add OpenTelemetry compatibility documentation and restructure content. The known issues modification addresses a compatibility problem with JBoss Wildfly but does not explicitly reference a security vulnerability. The environment variable mentioned (OTEL_AWS_APPLICATION_SIGNALS_RUNTIME_ENABLED) is a workaround for functionality issues rather than a security control.
