Summary
Updated the functional level of AWS Managed Microsoft AD from 2012 R2 to 2016 Forest and Domain functional levels.

The change updates the version information for the managed Active Directory service. While newer functional levels may include security improvements, the change itself does not reference any specific security issue, vulnerability, or incident. It appears to be a routine documentation update to reflect current service capabilities.
