Summary

Updated cluster relocation default behavior to be enabled for new/restored RA3 clusters in multi-AZ subnet groups. Added mention of Enhanced VPC Routing in access instructions.

Security assessment

The change modifies default configuration behavior but does not address a specific security vulnerability. The Enhanced VPC Routing mention clarifies existing network security best practices rather than introducing new security controls.

-If you turn on relocation and you currently use the leader node IP address to access your cluster, make sure to change that access. Instead, use the IP address associated with the cluster's virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint. To find this cluster IP address, find and use the VPC endpoint in the **Network and security** section of the cluster details page. To get more details on the VPC endpoint, sign in to the Amazon VPC console.
