AWS mediatailor: MediaTailor Functions overview mentions HTTP response caching

Service: mediatailor · 2026-10-16 · Documentation low

File: mediatailor/latest/ug/monetization-functions.md

Summary

Adds a bullet in the Functions usage list describing response caching to reduce calls to customer endpoints, and adds a link to the 'Caching HTTP responses' topic in the getting-started list.

Security assessment

This is a purely informational/conceptual addition about caching function responses to lower endpoint traffic; it introduces no auth, encryption, credential, or vulnerability content, and caching shared across sessions is described as a traffic optimization rather than a security control.

Evidence

+  * **Reduce traffic to your endpoints.** Cache function responses and share them across sessions so that MediaTailor calls your endpoint only when it needs fresh data.
