AWS managedservices documentation change
Summary
Updated sentence about End of Support (EOS) operating systems to indicate they are supported only if AMS-required agents support the OS and certain conditions are true, and removed specific versions (RHEL 7.x and Oracle Linux 7.5-7.9) from the list of supported EOS operating systems.
Security assessment
The change clarifies support conditions and removes specific OS versions from the supported list. While EOS systems have increased security risk, there is no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed; it's a documentation update about support policy and version listings.
