AWS evs documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from specific 'i4i.metal' instance references to generic 'metal' terminology in Amazon EVS data protection documentation.
Security assessment
The changes are purely terminological, replacing specific instance type names with a generic term. There is no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The security context (AES-256 encryption, lack of boot volume encryption) remains unchanged.
