AWS ses documentation change

Service: ses · 2025-08-16 · Documentation low

File: ses/latest/dg/dedicated-ip-case.md

Summary

Updated documentation for requesting/relinquishing dedicated IPs with streamlined Support Console workflow, merged request/relinquish processes, and added specific examples

Security assessment

The changes restructure the support case creation process and clarify procedural steps, but do not address security vulnerabilities or introduce new security features. Modifications focus on UI navigation updates (Service Quotas integration) and process consolidation rather than security controls.
