AWS awsaccountbilling documentation change
Summary
Expanded Scope 3 emissions coverage in CCFT documentation, adding details about fuel- and energy-related activities (FERA), IT hardware embodied carbon, data center building embodied carbon, and non-IT equipment. Updated facility scope to include refrigerant use and natural gas consumption.
Security assessment
The changes relate to environmental reporting (carbon emissions accounting) rather than security controls, vulnerabilities, or incidents. While emissions reporting may have compliance implications, there is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or describing security features.
