AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-01-31 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/mediaconnect/describe-flow.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version references; added and updated documentation for NDI sources and outputs including new NdiSourceSettings structure with SourceName parameter; added EncodingConfig structure for NDI source transcoding; updated Secrets Manager references to remove 'AWS' prefix; added new LARGE_4X processing option; clarified NdiConfiguration requirements.

Security assessment

The changes primarily involve feature enhancements for NDI support and branding updates (removing 'AWS' from Secrets Manager references). No security vulnerabilities are addressed. The transit encryption documentation remains functionally identical despite branding changes. The new NDI source validation and transcoding controls are feature improvements, not security fixes.
