AWS neptune documentation change

Service: neptune · 2026-04-04 · Documentation low

File: neptune/latest/userguide/gremlin-api-status-cancel.md

Summary

Expanded documentation for cancelling Gremlin queries to include multiple methods (AWS CLI, SDK, awscurl, and curl) with examples for each approach, and added a note about using awscurl with IAM authentication.

Security assessment

The changes add documentation about using awscurl with IAM authentication for secure connections when cancelling queries, which is a security feature. However, there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident - this appears to be routine documentation enhancement to provide multiple access methods for query cancellation.
