AWS govcloud-us documentation change

Service: govcloud-us · 2026-06-04 · Documentation low

File: govcloud-us/latest/UserGuide/govcloud-iam.md

Summary

Simplified section headers and updated terminology (e.g., 'not supported' to 'not available'). Removed redundant references to AWS GovCloud (US) in SSL requirement statements.

Security assessment

Changes are editorial improvements without addressing vulnerabilities. The SSL requirement remains unchanged but is generalized. No evidence of security vulnerability fixes.
