AWS linux medium security documentation change
Summary
Extended Redis 6 End-of-Life (EOL) date from January 31, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and corresponding migration deadlines.
Security assessment
Directly impacts security maintenance timelines by extending the period where Redis 6 receives security patches. Post-EOL software lacks security updates, making this a documented security risk. The change explicitly references 'security patches' in context of EOL.
