AWS odb documentation change

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

File: odb/latest/UserGuide/how-it-works.md

Summary

Removed preview notice, updated ODB network architecture details, added Zero-ETL integration reference, and clarified network peering/AZ constraints

Security assessment

Changes focus on architectural clarifications and feature enhancements. The CIDR validation update specifies Oracle VCN checks but doesn't indicate a security fix. AZ binding clarification relates to resource placement rather than security.
