AWS dms documentation change
Summary
Updated steps for creating data providers, including adding 'Virtual mode' options, reorganizing configuration steps, and adjusting SSL mode placement
Security assessment
Changes focus on workflow adjustments and virtual mode functionality rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. While SSL mode configuration is mentioned, its placement change doesn't indicate a security fix. No evidence of addressing existing vulnerabilities or exploits.
