AWS sap documentation change
Summary
Removed limitation on Storage Efficiency for SAP HANA, updated volume configuration to enable Storage Efficiency with notes on encryption impact, and corrected a documentation URL.
Security assessment
The change explicitly documents encryption's impact on storage efficiency (0% savings with encryption enabled), which provides security-relevant information about data protection trade-offs. However, there is no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed.
