AWS batch documentation change

Service: batch · 2025-10-07 · Documentation low

File: batch/latest/userguide/review-job-logs.md

Summary

Updated documentation for viewing AWS Batch job logs in CloudWatch, including revised navigation steps, authorization notice for first-time CloudWatch usage, and removal of filtering tips

Security assessment

The changes primarily improve user guidance for accessing logs and clarify CloudWatch authorization for charges. While authorization is mentioned, it relates to cost acceptance rather than security controls. No evidence of addressing vulnerabilities or security features.
