AWS sagemaker documentation change

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

File: sagemaker/latest/dg/sagemaker-hyperpod-eks-operate-console-ui-create-cluster.md

Summary

Updated configuration steps for HyperPod cluster creation, added Restricted Instance Group (RIG) configuration details for Amazon Nova customization, removed logging file reference from script description

Security assessment

Added documentation for Restricted Instance Groups (RIG) which appears to be a security-related feature for model customization isolation. No direct evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability, but introduces security controls for specialized workloads.
