AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-06-19 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/directconnect/create-lag.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference from 2.35.5 to 2.35.8 and added documentation for new 'rateLimiterStatus' field showing rate limiter usage metrics including maxAllowed, inUse, remaining count, and totalBandwidth

Security assessment

The change documents a new rate limiter monitoring feature which helps prevent resource exhaustion and DDoS attacks by tracking bandwidth allocation. While this relates to security controls, there's no evidence it addresses a specific vulnerability or incident.
