AWS AmazonRDS documentation change

Service: AmazonRDS · 2025-07-16 · Documentation low

File: AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.PostgreSQL.CommonDBATasks.Autovacuum.md

Summary

Replaced section about PostgreSQL SCRAM password encryption with 'Dead connection handling' content.

Security assessment

Removing SCRAM encryption documentation reduces security-related content, but the change itself does not indicate a security issue resolution. The new content focuses on connection management, not security features.
