AWS amazon-mq: Remove ssl_options.hostname_verification from Amazon MQ SSL docs

Service: amazon-mq · 2026-10-01 · Security-related medium

File: amazon-mq/latest/developer-guide/ssl-for-amq-for-rabbitmq.md · Type: network

Summary

Deletes the documented `ssl_options.hostname_verification` option (hostname verification mode with values `wildcard`/`none`) from the Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ SSL configuration page.

Security assessment

Dropping the documented option that permitted setting hostname verification to `none` removes the ability to disable TLS hostname validation, which is a hardening change that helps prevent man-in-the-middle interception of broker traffic.

Evidence

-`ssl_options.hostname_verification`
