AWS AWSEC2 medium security documentation change
Summary
Added entries for EC2 Fast Launch policy update (preventing orphaned resources) and expanded regional availability for EC2 Serial Console/Instance Connect
Security assessment
The EC2 Fast Launch policy update explicitly addresses security by preventing orphaned resources (volumes/network interfaces) that could lead to unintended access or resource leakage. This qualifies as security documentation. Regional expansions for Serial Console/Instance Connect are feature updates without direct security implications.
