AWS health documentation change

Service: health · 2025-04-20 · Documentation low

File: health/latest/ug/aws-health-planned-lifecycle-events.md

Summary

Updated AWS Health event lifecycle details: changed event closure status formatting, extended event retention period from 90 days to 4 years, and rephrased security group responsibility wording.

Security assessment

The changes clarify operational processes (event status formatting, retention period extension) and rephrase existing security responsibility language without introducing new security content or addressing vulnerabilities. The retention period extension impacts data availability but isn't tied to a security vulnerability.

-Security and compliance are shared responsibilities between AWS and the customer. Depending on the services deployed, this shared model can help relieve the customer’s operational burden. This is because AWS operates, manages, and controls the components from the host operating system and virtualization layer down to the physical security of the facilities in which the service operates. The customer assumes responsibility and management of the guest operating system (including updates and security patches) and other associated application software, in addition to the configuration of the AWS-provided security group firewall. For more information, see [Shared responsibility model](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-risk-and-compliance/shared-responsibility-model.html).
