AWS datasync medium security documentation change
Summary
Updated IPv6 support for DNS servers and SMB file server domain/IP configuration. Added note about Kerberos authentication requiring a domain name.
Security assessment
The clarification that Kerberos authentication requires a domain name prevents insecure configurations, addressing potential authentication vulnerabilities. The IPv6 addition is a feature enhancement, but the Kerberos note directly impacts secure setup.
