AWS AmazonElastiCache documentation change

Service: AmazonElastiCache · 2025-08-28 · Documentation low

File: AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/Logging-destinations.md

Summary

Removed JSON IAM policy example that showed permissions required for configuring ElastiCache logging to CloudWatch Logs

Security assessment

The removed policy example contained standard logging permissions without any evident security vulnerabilities. The change appears to be documentation cleanup rather than addressing a specific security issue. No concrete evidence of security remediation in the diff.
