AWS AmazonElastiCache documentation change

Service: AmazonElastiCache · 2025-10-25 · Documentation low

File: AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/disaster-recovery-resiliency.md

Summary

Replaced all instances of 'self-designed cluster' with 'node-based cluster' terminology to clarify cluster types

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological updates (self-designed → node-based) without altering technical guidance. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or new security features are introduced. The updates maintain existing recommendations for Multi-AZ configurations and node distribution without security implications.
