AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2025-07-18 · Documentation low

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-resource-datasync-locationsmb.md

Summary

Updated server address field to allow IPv6 addresses and clarified Kerberos authentication domain name requirement.

Security assessment

While IPv6 support expands connectivity options, this is not inherently security-related. The Kerberos note clarifies authentication configuration but does not address a security vulnerability or add new security documentation.
