AWS keyspaces documentation change

Service: keyspaces · 2025-07-04 · Documentation low

File: keyspaces/latest/devguide/metrics-dimensions.md

Summary

Restructured documentation to add CDC metrics section, updated headings, removed CloudWatch console/CLI instructions, and added detailed metrics for Change Data Capture (CDC) operations

Security assessment

The changes primarily add monitoring metrics for CDC operations and reorganize content. There is no mention of vulnerabilities, security incidents, or security controls. The CDC metrics help monitor API operations but don't directly address security weaknesses.
