AWS inspector: Changelog entries for Inspector machine image and SBOM releases
Summary
Adds three documentation-history entries: SBOM Generator 1.17.0 release, on-demand machine image (AMI) scanning via StartOnDemandScan/GetOnDemandScanStatus/ListOnDemandScans with EventBridge notifications, and support for continuously scanning account-owned AMIs with scan eligibility windows and modes.
Security assessment
These are release-notes/changelog rows announcing vulnerability-scanning features (AMI scanning, SBOM generator version). They contain no vulnerability disclosure, advisory ID, or remediation guidance, so they are informational rather than security-documentation changes.
Evidence
+[Amazon Inspector adds support for scanning machine images](./doc-history.html)| Amazon Inspector can now continuously scan the machine images (AMIs) that your account owns for operating system and programming language package vulnerabilities. You control which machine images are in scope by using scan eligibility windows, a scan mode, and exclusion options for copied and backup images.
