AWS aws-backup documentation change
Summary
Added documentation about Intelligent Tiering storage class requirements during FSx restore operations, including deployment type consistency, storage capacity rules, throughput limitations, and security group requirements for EFA enablement.
Security assessment
The changes include a security-related note about configuring security groups to allow traffic when enabling EFA (Elastic Fabric Adapter). However, this is a standard security configuration guidance rather than addressing a specific vulnerability. No evidence of patching a security issue is present.
