AWS drs documentation change

Service: drs · 2025-05-01 · Documentation low

File: drs/latest/userguide/installer-parameters.md

Summary

Grammar and tense corrections in parameter descriptions (e.g., 'will register' to 'registers', 'will prompt' to 'prompts') and clarification of disk replication instructions

Security assessment

Changes focus on verb tense consistency and clarity improvements. No new security guidance was added, and existing security-related content (e.g., IAM key usage) remains unchanged in substance. The modification to disk replication instructions maintains existing security controls without introducing new security considerations.

-This parameter must be used with the _\--no-prompt_ parameter. This parameter will cancel the automatic detection of physical disks to replicate. You will need to specify the exact disks to replicate using the _\--devices_ parameter (including the root disk, failure to specify the root disk will cause replication to fail). This parameter should only be used as a troubleshooting tool if the _\--devices_ parameter fails to identify the disks correctly.
