AWS snowball documentation change

Service: snowball · 2025-03-30 · Documentation low

File: snowball/latest/developer-guide/access-control-managing-permissions.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'AWS Snowball' to 'AWS Snowball Edge' throughout the document, including console references and API permissions

Security assessment

Changes focus on branding consistency rather than introducing new security content or addressing vulnerabilities. The updates maintain existing security documentation about IAM policies and KMS encryption without adding new security features.
