AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-02-28 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/backup-gateway/import-hypervisor-configuration.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference, reordered parameters, adjusted validation patterns for hypervisor name/host/username, modified KMS key ARN pattern validation, added cli-error-format option, updated tag value constraints

Security assessment

Changes include parameter reordering, pattern validation adjustments (removed regex anchors ^/$), and added CLI error formatting option. While KMS key references exist, there's no evidence these changes address a specific security vulnerability. Pattern relaxations (e.g. username allowing more characters) could impact input validation but without explicit security context.
