AWS cli documentation change

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

File: cli/latest/reference/datasync/create-location-smb.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference, added IPv6 support in server/DNS addresses, removed IPv6 restriction note, fixed 'principal' typo

Security assessment

IPv6 support expansion and typo fixes don't address security vulnerabilities. The Kerberos note change removes a limitation but doesn't introduce new security controls.
