AWS AWSEC2: Rephrase notes on encrypted snapshot behavior

Service: AWSEC2 · 2026-08-16 · Documentation low

File: AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AMIEncryption.md

Summary

Replaced 'i.e.' with 'that is' in two notes about encrypted snapshots from shared AMIs.

Security assessment

Change is purely grammatical/clarity improvement with no security implications.

Evidence

+  * An encrypted snapshot that you do not own (that is, the AMI is shared with you) is restored to a volume that is encrypted by your AWS account's default KMS key. (In other words, the `Encrypted` parameter has no effect.)
