AWS timestream medium security documentation change

Service: timestream · 2025-11-19 · Security-related medium

Summary

Removed important note about S3 VPC endpoint policy requirements for private cluster creation and note about InfluxDB Explorer limitations

Security assessment

The removed note explicitly warned about S3 VPC endpoint policy requirements to avoid cluster creation failures. Removing this security guidance could lead to misconfigurations where users create clusters with overly restrictive S3 policies, potentially causing operational failures or unintended access patterns. This constitutes a security documentation regression.
