AWS systems-manager documentation change
Summary
Updated example configurations and security patch references from Amazon Linux 2017.09 to Amazon Linux 2, and replaced old Windows Server security update examples with newer KBs (KB4074588/KB4074590) including Critical severity ratings
Security assessment
The changes update examples to reflect newer OS versions and security patches but do not address specific vulnerabilities. While security patches are mentioned, this appears to be routine documentation maintenance rather than addressing a disclosed security issue.
