AWS AmazonCloudFront documentation change

Service: AmazonCloudFront · 2025-05-03 · Documentation medium

File: AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/distribution-config-options.md

Summary

Added Firewall Manager policy support note, domain name specification details, removed cache behavior restrictions, and added connection group documentation link

Security assessment

The addition of Firewall Manager policy limitations informs users about current security feature gaps (multi-tenant distribution support), which is security-relevant documentation. However, this does not address an active security vulnerability.
