AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-01-16 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/ecs/update-capacity-provider.md

Summary

Added documentation for the 'fipsEnabled' parameter in the capacity provider structure, which enables FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules on EC2 instances for enhanced security compliance.

Security assessment

The change documents a security feature (FIPS 140-2 compliance) but does not address any specific security vulnerability or incident. It provides guidance on cryptographic security controls without evidence of fixing a security issue.
