AWS neptune documentation change

Service: neptune · 2026-04-10 · Documentation low

File: neptune/latest/userguide/access-graph-qpc.md

Summary

Added comprehensive examples for using query plan cache with AWS CLI, SDK (Python), awscurl, and curl, including examples for enabling/disabling plan caching and using explain functionality

Security assessment

The changes are documentation updates adding usage examples for existing Neptune query plan cache functionality. There is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The changes include removing the '-k' flag from curl examples, which could be interpreted as promoting secure connections by not bypassing SSL certificate verification, but this appears to be a documentation improvement rather than addressing a specific security issue.
