AWS vpc documentation change

Service: vpc · 2025-11-19 · Documentation low

File: vpc/latest/ipam/integrate-infoblox-ipam.md

Summary

Renamed 'Required IAM permissions' section to 'IAM role for Infoblox', restructured IAM permissions list, and added a note about potential additional permissions for VPC IPAM discovery.

Security assessment

The change clarifies IAM role requirements for Infoblox integration but doesn't address a specific vulnerability. It improves security documentation by emphasizing least-privilege permissions and role-based access.
