AWS ec2 medium security documentation change
Summary
Added new AMI release entry (2025.06.11) with updated components (PowerShell, PV driver, EC2Launch, SQL Server CUs) and Windows Security Updates. Added deprecation notice for older AMIs.
Security assessment
The change explicitly documents Windows Security Updates and plans to deprecate older AMIs. Security updates often address vulnerabilities, and deprecating outdated AMIs reduces exposure to unpatched systems. However, no specific CVEs or vulnerabilities are mentioned.
