AWS AmazonECS documentation change

Service: AmazonECS · 2025-10-01 · Documentation low

File: AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task_definition_parameters.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'launch type' to 'capacity' and 'Fargate launch type' to 'Fargate', removed mention of future logging drivers, and adjusted parameter descriptions

Security assessment

These changes appear to be documentation restructuring and terminology updates rather than security-related modifications. The removal of 'future releases might include more log drivers' is an editorial change that doesn't impact current security posture. No evidence of vulnerability fixes or new security guidance.
