AWS mwaa documentation change

Service: mwaa · 2025-07-19 · Documentation low

File: mwaa/latest/userguide/airflow-versions.md

Summary

Updated documentation to include release dates, availability dates, and end-of-support timelines for Apache Airflow versions. Removed 'limited support date' column and related FAQ entries. Changed 'see' to 'refer to' for consistency.

Security assessment

The changes primarily involve updating version support timelines, clarifying documentation phrasing, and restructuring tables. There is no explicit mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or security-related features. The extended 180-day notice period for end-of-support and removal of deprecated versions could indirectly encourage users to stay on supported versions (which may include security updates), but no direct security context is provided in the diff.
