AWS cli documentation change

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

File: cli/latest/reference/rds/restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference from 2.31.3 to 2.31.5, reordered parameters, added storage throughput documentation, restructured IAM instance profile and network type parameters, updated DBInstance structure fields including security-related IAM authentication and certificate details

Security assessment

The changes include updates to IAM instance profile requirements and IAM database authentication documentation, which are security-related features. However, there is no evidence these changes address a specific security vulnerability or incident. The modifications appear to be documentation restructuring and clarification of existing security controls.
