AWS awsaccountbilling documentation change
Summary
Added new Cost Explorer permissions (ce:GetCostAndUsageComparisons and ce:GetCostComparisonDrivers) to AWSBillingReadOnlyAccess policy.
Security assessment
The change adds billing analytics permissions without any security context. This appears to be a routine feature update for cost management capabilities rather than addressing security concerns or documenting security features.
