Summary

Changed the AWS region support for the RDS storage encryption Config rule from having several exceptions to being supported in all regions.

Security assessment

This change expands the documented regional availability of a security compliance rule (checking storage encryption). It indicates the rule is now available in all supported regions, including previously excluded ones like China and GovCloud. This is a feature availability update, not a response to a security incident.
