AWS local-zones documentation change

Service: local-zones · 2025-10-22 · Documentation low

File: local-zones/latest/ug/concepts-local-zones.md

Summary

Consolidated VPC description and removed standalone statement about VPC spanning zones. Removed 'Group Long Name' and 'Geography' bullet points from concepts list.

Security assessment

The changes primarily involve content reorganization and removal of redundant/geographic compliance details. While the removed 'Geography' bullet previously mentioned regulatory compliance (indirectly security-related), its deletion does not directly address a security vulnerability or weakness. No evidence of security vulnerability fixes or new security features added.
