AWS greengrass documentation change

Service: greengrass · 2026-04-19 · Documentation low

File: greengrass/v2/developerguide/FIPS.md

Summary

Updated AWS IoT Greengrass Core software version from 2.16.1 to 2.17.0 in multiple configuration examples and added a hyperlink to the Greengrass nucleus component documentation in the HSM support note.

Security assessment

The changes are routine version updates and minor documentation improvements. There is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The version bump from 2.16.1 to 2.17.0 is a standard software update. The addition of a hyperlink improves documentation clarity but doesn't introduce new security content. The note about HSM (Hardware Security Module) support remains unchanged in substance.
