AWS cli: Clarify DB cluster snapshot encryption key type description

Service: cli · 2026-10-21 · Documentation medium

File: cli/latest/reference/rds/delete-db-cluster-snapshot.md · Type: encryption

Summary

Rewrites the Encrypted field description to distinguish AWS managed/owned keys from customer managed keys and points to StorageEncryptionType (sse-rds) to determine how data at rest is protected.

Security assessment

Improves accuracy of encryption-at-rest documentation, clarifying that a false Encrypted value with sse-rds still means data is encrypted. This is security documentation, not a fix for a specific vulnerability.

Evidence

>> Specifies whether the DB cluster snapshot is encrypted with an Amazon Web Services managed key or a customer managed key.
