AWS keyspaces documentation change

Service: keyspaces · 2025-10-28 · Documentation medium

File: keyspaces/latest/devguide/troubleshooting.connecting.md

Summary

Updated references to SSL/TLS certificate from 'sf-class2-root.crt' to 'keyspaces-bundle.pem', removed direct download commands for Starfield certificate, and added links to TLS configuration documentation.

Security assessment

The changes standardize references to the correct TLS certificate bundle and remove outdated manual certificate download steps, directing users to updated documentation. While this improves clarity and ensures proper TLS configuration, there is no explicit mention of a security vulnerability being addressed. The updates reinforce secure practices but do not indicate a specific security incident.
