AWS documentdb documentation change
Summary
Entire LTS release documentation file has been removed/deleted
Security assessment
The change removes the entire LTS release documentation file, which contained general information about Long-Term Support releases, patch management, and upgrade procedures. There is no evidence in the diff that this removal addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident. The removed content mentioned that LTS versions receive 'critical stability and security patches' but this is general information about the LTS program, not documentation of a specific security issue.

Database clusters that use LTS can stay on the same version longer and undergo fewer upgrade cycles than clusters that use non-LTS releases. LTS versions will receive only critical stability and security patches without introducing new features. - -## Current LTS Release - -The current LTS release for Amazon DocumentDB is: - - * Engine Version 5.0.0, Required Engine Patch Version 3.0.17983 or later - - - - -To determine the patch version your cluster is on, see How to check if my existing engine version 5.0.0 cluster is on LTS. - -For details about support timelines and release cycles for the LTS versions, see [Amazon DocumentDB engine version support dates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/docdb-version-support-dates.html).

LTS is ideal for production environments where database availability directly impacts business operations. - -**Consider LTS releases if:** - - * Your application has strict uptime requirements that limit upgrade opportunities - - * You have all required database engine features and enhancements your application needs - - - - -**Consider standard releases instead if:** - - * Your application can handle minimal interruption - - * You want the latest capabilities and enhancements as soon as they're released - - - - -## Understanding LTS Patch Versions - -Amazon DocumentDB Long Term Support (LTS) has a designated minimum required patch version.
