AWS greengrass documentation change

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

File: greengrass/v2/developerguide/public-components.md

Summary

Updated component compatibility table to show Docker application manager, PKCS#11 provider, and Token exchange service components now have 'Built-in' support for Nucleus lite instead of 'No'.

Security assessment

This change updates a compatibility table to reflect that certain components are now built into Nucleus lite. While the PKCS#11 provider component is security-related (enables HSM access), this change only updates compatibility information without adding new security documentation or addressing a security vulnerability. The change is administrative in nature, updating support status for components.
