AWS AmazonECS documentation change

Service: AmazonECS · 2025-05-10 · Documentation low

File: AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-windows-ami-versions.md

Summary

Updated AMI visibility from Private to Public for multiple Windows Server versions (2022, 2019, 2016) and removed older AMI versions from documentation

Security assessment

The changes primarily update AMI availability status and remove outdated entries. While making AMIs public could impact security posture, there's no explicit mention of security vulnerabilities being addressed. The removal of older AMIs appears to be routine version deprecation rather than security-related remediation.
