File: general/latest/gr/bedrock.md

Summary

Updated service quotas for Bedrock Guardrails including increased text unit limits for content policies, denied topics, sensitive information filters, and word filters across multiple regions. Added burst rate quotas for InvokeGuardrailChecks API and clarified per-second processing descriptions.

Security assessment

Changes involve increasing operational quotas (text unit limits, burst rates) for existing security guardrails like content filtering and sensitive data detection. No vulnerability fixes, security incidents, or new security features are mentioned. Updates reflect capacity/scaling improvements without addressing specific security weaknesses.
