AWS AmazonRDS documentation change

Service: AmazonRDS · 2025-08-25 · Documentation low

File: AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ReadRepl.XRgn.md

Summary

Added Db2 to the list of supported database engines for cross-region read replicas in multiple sections, including procedures, CLI commands, and considerations.

Security assessment

The changes expand documentation to include Db2 as a supported engine for cross-region replication but do not address security vulnerabilities or introduce security-specific features. The modifications are purely functional updates.
