AWS devopsagent documentation change

Service: devopsagent · 2026-03-31 · Documentation low

File: devopsagent/latest/userguide/connecting-to-cicd-pipelines-connecting-gitlab.md

Summary

Updated GitLab connection documentation with restructured steps, UI navigation changes (Capabilities tab to Capability Providers page), and removed section about associating AWS resources with project deployments.

Security assessment

The changes are procedural updates to the user interface and workflow for connecting GitLab. There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or weaknesses. The removal of the section about associating AWS resources with project deployments is a documentation reorganization, not a security fix. No security features are added.
