AWS cli documentation change

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

File: cli/latest/reference/rds/restore-db-instance-to-point-in-time.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference from 2.31.3 to 2.31.5, reordered parameters, added --storage-throughput documentation, restructured parameter descriptions (e.g., --custom-iam-instance-profile, --network-type), and updated JSON syntax/output fields related to storage throughput, IAM authentication, multi-tenancy, and certificate details.

Security assessment

The changes primarily involve documentation restructuring, parameter reordering, and clarifications (e.g., IAM role requirements for custom instances). While IAM and certificate details are security-adjacent, there is no explicit evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or introducing new security features. The --custom-iam-instance-profile changes describe existing requirements rather than new security controls.
