AWS vpc documentation change

Service: vpc · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.md

Summary

Added cross-region endpoint configuration steps and reordered service selection/VPC selection steps. Updated section title for cross-region services.

Security assessment

The changes primarily add documentation for cross-region endpoint functionality and reorganize existing steps. No specific security vulnerabilities or security feature enhancements are mentioned. While VPC endpoint configuration relates to network security, these changes appear to be feature documentation updates rather than addressing specific security issues.
