AWS cli medium security documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-12-25 · Security-related medium

File: cli/latest/reference/pcs/create-cluster.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference from 2.32.21 to 2.32.23. Changed default value for Slurm accounting and REST API modes from STANDARD to NONE. Updated AWS Secrets Manager references to full name 'Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager'.

Security assessment

Changing default modes from STANDARD to NONE reduces attack surface by disabling features by default. This implements security best practices of minimal exposure. The change explicitly documents that STANDARD enables features, clarifying security implications of enabling them.
