AWS AmazonRDS documentation change
Summary
Updated recommended CloudWatch statistics for RDS Proxy metrics from 'Average' to 'Sum' across multiple connection-related metrics
Security assessment
The changes modify statistical aggregation recommendations for monitoring metrics but do not address security vulnerabilities or introduce security features. While some metrics relate to TLS connections, the change only affects measurement methodology without altering security controls or configurations.
