AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-03-10 · Documentation low

File: cli/v1/userguide/cli-configure-sourcing-external.md

Summary

Changed section title from 'Using Amazon EC2 instance metadata as credentials in the AWS CLI' to 'Amazon EC2 metadata'

Security assessment

The change appears to be a title simplification rather than addressing security concerns. While EC2 metadata service security is important, there's no evidence in the diff of new security warnings, vulnerability fixes, or security guidance being added.
