File: cli/latest/reference/ec2/run-instances.md

Summary

Updated CLI version references from 2.31.13 to 2.31.16. Added documentation link for EBS volume initialization. Added multiple new instance types (c8i, r8gb, m8a series) and 'capacity-manager-data-export' resource type.

Security assessment

Changes include routine CLI version updates, documentation improvements for EBS initialization, and new instance/resource types. No evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or describing security features.
