Summary

Added opt-out mechanism via specific tag for RDS storage auto-remediation features across multiple alerts

Security assessment

While the change documents a security-adjacent feature (control over automated storage scaling), there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. The tag-based opt-out introduces a new security control surface but isn't tied to a disclosed security issue.
