AWS odb documentation change
Summary
Added documentation for creating Autonomous VM clusters, including configuration steps, license options, network settings, and mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication options
Security assessment
The change introduces documentation for enabling mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication, which is a security feature for authenticating both client and server. However, there is no evidence this addresses an existing security vulnerability.
