AWS AmazonElastiCache documentation change

Service: AmazonElastiCache · 2026-07-04 · Documentation low

File: AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/connect-tls.md

Summary

Updated valkey-cli installation instructions to focus exclusively on Amazon Linux 2023, removing steps for Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux.

Security assessment

The change updates OS-specific installation steps but doesn't address any security vulnerability. TLS documentation remains unchanged except for OS version references.
