AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-07-13 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/opsworkscm/associate-node.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference and changed parameter name from CHEF_NODE_PUBLIC_KEY to CHEF_AUTOMATE_NODE_PUBLIC_KEY in example command

Security assessment

The parameter name change clarifies a security-related authentication key requirement for Chef API access. While not directly fixing a security issue, it improves documentation accuracy for security-sensitive configuration.
