Summary

Updated the list of unsupported AWS regions by adding 'Asia Pacific (New Zealand)' to the exception list for the Config rule checking ECR repository CMK encryption.

Security assessment

The change updates region exceptions for a security feature (customer-managed key encryption). There is no evidence of a security incident; it's a service availability update.
