AWS systems-manager documentation change
Summary
Updated supported AMI list by removing Amazon Linux 1, older macOS versions, SUSE Linux, Ubuntu 23.10, and Windows Server 2008 references
Security assessment
The changes remove outdated operating system versions from the preinstalled agent support list. This is likely part of routine documentation updates to reflect current supported platforms rather than addressing specific security issues. No security advisories or vulnerability fixes are mentioned in the diff.
