AWS fsx documentation change

Service: fsx · 2025-06-28 · Documentation medium

File: fsx/latest/LustreGuide/security-iam-awsmanpol.md

Summary

Updated documentation for AWS managed policies related to FSx for OpenZFS, including new permissions for S3 access point management, enhanced security group validation, and audit logging configuration. Added changelog entries for recent policy updates.

Security assessment

The changes add documentation for new S3 access point management permissions (fsx:CreateAndAttachS3AccessPoint etc.) and clarify security-related capabilities like enhanced security group validation (ec2:GetSecurityGroupsForVpc) and audit logging via CloudWatch. While these relate to security features, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
