AWS datasync documentation change
Summary
Expanded supported AWS storage services for Google Cloud Storage transfers and clarified agent requirements for transfer modes
Security assessment
The changes clarify transfer capabilities and agent deployment scenarios. While the note about private cloud connectivity using Basic mode with agents could relate to network security practices, the documentation does not explicitly address security features or vulnerabilities. The updates are operational rather than security-focused.
