Summary

Updated CloudFormation reference in Redis AUTH token modification documentation

Security assessment

-Amazon ElastiCache now supports modifying the AUTH token on an existing ElastiCache for Redis OSS server | ElastiCache for Redis OSS 5.0.6 now enables you to modify authentication tokens by setting and rotating new tokens. You can now modify active tokens while they're in use. You can also add brand-new tokens to existing clusters enabled with encryption in transit that were previously set up without authentication tokens. This is a two-step process by which you can set and rotate the token without interrupting client requests. This feature is currently not supported on AWS CloudFormation.
