AWS msk documentation change
Summary
Added support documentation for Amazon MSK version 4.0.x with Java 17 requirements and new features
Security assessment
While the update mentions Java 17 providing 'improved security', this is a version support announcement rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. The security reference is incidental to the version update documentation.
