AWS sap documentation change

Service: sap · 2026-01-22 · Documentation low

File: sap/latest/sap-hana/amazon-fsx-sap-hana.md

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.
