AWS AmazonElastiCache documentation change
Summary
Added note that IAM authentication requires in-transit encryption (TLS) to be enabled
Security assessment
This adds a security requirement clarification for IAM authentication, stating that TLS must be enabled. While this documents a security prerequisite, there is no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed. It adds documentation about security features (IAM authentication and TLS requirements).
