AWS AmazonRDS medium security documentation change
Summary
Added license requirements for Active Data Guard and Database In-Memory, clarified Oracle Text limitations due to security restrictions, and added note about TDE irreversibility.
Security assessment
The Oracle Text clarification explicitly references security restrictions ('doesn't provide host file system access'). The TDE note documents critical security feature behavior (irreversible encryption) which impacts data protection strategies.
