AWS aws-backup documentation change
Summary
Removed hardware requirements section and added details about dual-stack endpoints (IPv4/IPv6 support) for gateway communication
Security assessment
The endpoint updates improve connectivity options but lack explicit security context. Hardware requirements removal is editorial. No evidence of security fixes or new security features.
