Summary
Updated terminology from 'allow IPv4 addresses' to 'resolve IPv4 addresses' in IP address type explanation
Security assessment
The change clarifies technical terminology about DNS resolution rather than modifying security controls. While the document mentions security posture, this specific edit does not introduce new security information or address vulnerabilities.

You can choose IPv4 to allow IPv4 addresses to invoke your API, or you can choose dualstack to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to invoke your API. We recommend that you set the IP address type to dualstack to alleviate IP space exhaustion or for your security posture.
