AWS AmazonECS documentation change

Service: AmazonECS · 2025-06-22 · Documentation low

File: AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/vpc-endpoints.md

Summary

Reorganized documentation structure - moved 'Understanding Amazon ECS endpoint naming patterns' section earlier and adjusted heading levels. Added note about traffic routing through public endpoints if VPC endpoints are not fully configured.

Security assessment

The changes are structural/organizational improvements to documentation flow. While the note about public endpoint traffic routing mentions security implications of misconfiguration, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or security incident.
