AWS ebs documentation change

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

File: ebs/latest/userguide/logging-ebs-apis-using-cloudtrail.md

Summary

Updated documentation to replace 'Amazon EBS' with 'EBS direct APIs' terminology throughout the CloudTrail logging guide

Security assessment

The changes update terminology but maintain existing security documentation about CloudTrail integration for auditing API activity. While CloudTrail logging is a security feature, there's no evidence this change addresses a specific security vulnerability - it appears to be branding/terminology standardization.

-Amazon EBS are integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service. CloudTrail captures calls made to the Amazon EBS as events. The calls captured include calls from the AWS Management Console and code calls to the Amazon EBS. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to the Amazon EBS, the IP address from which the request was made, when it was made, and additional details.
