Summary

Removed note about VPC interface endpoint unsupported in aws-us-gov partition and added IPv6 DNS names for interface endpoints

Security assessment

The addition of IPv6 DNS names enhances documentation for secure network connectivity via PrivateLink, which is a security feature. However, there is no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability. The removal of the partition restriction note suggests expanded availability but lacks explicit security context.
