AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-03-07 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/gamelift/create-matchmaking-configuration.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference from 2.34.1 to 2.34.4 and added documentation about SearchGameSessions API limitations regarding game property keys

Security assessment

The changes document operational limitations of the SearchGameSessions API (500 key limit and search result truncation). While important for reliability, there's no evidence this addresses a security vulnerability or weakness.
