AWS AWSEC2 documentation change
Summary
Added Windows Server 2025 to supported OS list and removed a warning about Virtualization-based Security (VBS) causing boot failures on Windows Server 2025 instances.
Security assessment
The removed note addressed system stability concerns rather than security vulnerabilities. While VBS is a security feature, the change removes a compatibility warning without introducing new security documentation or addressing a disclosed security issue. This appears to be a documentation accuracy update.
