AWS bedrock documentation change

Service: bedrock · 2025-05-16 · Documentation low

File: bedrock/latest/userguide/monitoring-guardrails-cw-metrics.md

Summary

Updated documentation formatting, metric names, and CloudWatch monitoring instructions. Added explicit CloudWatch namespace and reorganized permission requirements.

Security assessment

The changes emphasize proper CloudWatch permissions requirements and access control documentation, but there's no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. The updates improve security documentation clarity but don't resolve a known issue.
