Summary

Updated terminology from 'cluster' to 'cluster instance' in control title and section header for CT.RDS.PR.2

Security assessment

Change appears to be a terminology clarification rather than addressing a security vulnerability or adding security features. Enhanced monitoring configuration remains a security best practice but this change doesn't introduce new security content.
