Summary

Removed explicit EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider configuration from KMS client initialization

Security assessment

The change removes an explicit credentials provider declaration but doesn't address a security vulnerability. AWS SDKs automatically use the default credential chain (including environment variables) when no provider is specified. This appears to be a code example simplification rather than a security-related fix.
