AWS res documentation change

Service: res · 2026-03-28 · Documentation low

File: res/latest/ug/sessions.md

Summary

Added a new 'Reboot Session(s)' action to the sessions management interface, renumbered subsequent actions, and specified this action can recover errored VDIs.

Security assessment

Change adds a new operational recovery feature (reboot) for sessions in ERROR state. While improving system reliability, there is no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability or adds security documentation.
