AWS fsx documentation change

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

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

Summary

Updated documentation for AWS managed policies with product specificity (OpenZFS), added S3 access point management permissions, and reorganized content

Security assessment

Added new IAM permissions (fsx:CreateAndAttachS3AccessPoint, DescribeS3AccessPointAttachments, UpdateS3AccessPointAttachments, DetachAndDeleteS3AccessPoint) related to S3 access point management. While these control access to security-sensitive operations, there's no indication of addressing a specific vulnerability. The changes document expanded security controls for new features.
